Zillow has stated that a home listing showing that Donald Trump sold his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida was inaccurate. The listing suggested the residence was purchased for $422 million on August 4, just weeks before the former president turned himself in at Fulton County jail in Atlanta for 13 felony charges related to his attempt to overturn the 2020 presidential election in Georgia.
The Zillow listing has since been changed from “sold” to “off market.” The online real estate company said in a statement: “After an investigation, it appears that the information provided was incorrect. We’ve corrected the information on this property.”
The Trump Organization also said that the original listing was wrong. “Mar-a-Lago has absolutely not been sold nor will it ever be. This rumor is asinine,” Eric Trump commented.
While Zillow’s website did not say who had allegedly bought the resort, The Express reported that Trump may not have sold Mar-a-Lago but instead transferred it to Mar-a-Lago Inc., a company owned by Donald Trump Jr. The former president’s eldest son has dismissed the claim.
He told Breitbart News that the reports were “total and complete fake news.” He later added, “A lot of media outlets should be embarrassed with themselves for running such a phony story, but we all know that most of them won’t even retract their reports because they have no shame. SAD!”
Andrew Weissman, an author, attorney and co-host of the MSNBC podcast, Prosecuting Donald Trump, commented on the alleged change in ownership on X, writing, “Fraudulent transfer?”
If Trump receives a guilty verdict in the Georgia case, he may not be eligible for re-election under the U.S. Constitution. But his legal battles have not significantly harmed his chances to obtain the Republican nomination as he is still the leading candidate. According to the poll analysis website FiveThirtyEight, Trump had an average of 51.6% of the Republican primary vote. The next-best contender is Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who only holds 14.8%.
