Overview

• Historian Marvin Dunn filed suit in Miami-Dade County seeking to block the conveyance of the downtown parcel tied to plans for President Trump’s library.
• The complaint says the 8 a.m. special meeting’s agenda did not identify the specific property and the session was not livestreamed, limiting public awareness.
• At 8:14 a.m. the day of the vote, the governor’s office announced a proposal to gift the site for the library, and a week later the Florida Cabinet deeded the land to the Donald J. Trump Presidential Library Foundation.
• The foundation’s trustees are Eric Trump, Michael Boulos and attorney James Kiley, and the nearly 3-acre Biscayne Boulevard lot—once used as a college employee parking area—is valued at more than $67 million next to the Freedom Tower.
• The deal requires the site to include components of a presidential library and for construction to begin within five years, offers no guaranteed commitments to the college, and has drawn no comment on the lawsuit from the governor as the college did not immediately respond to inquiries.
