Souvenirs for the Trump Presidential Library (sic).

“The Department of Justice has just returned the boxes,” Trump said in a statement. “They are being brought down to Florida and will someday be part of the Trump Presidential Library,” he said, going on to claim that “justice finally won out” and that the investigation into his mishandling of presidential documents, including highly sensitive classified documents, was “merely an attack on a political opponent.”

For now, according to the sources, FIU appears to be an underdog to Florida Atlantic University, a state school in Boca Raton that’s about 25 miles away from Trump’s palatial Palm Beach home, Mar-a-Lago. That’s compared to the 80 miles that separate FIU’s Modesto A. Maidique Campus outside Sweetwater from Mar-a-Lago. But FIU is only 4 miles from the Trump National golf resort in Doral, with the potential of a Trump hotel operating a short ride from a new presidential attraction and conference center attracting visitors worldwide. It’s not clear if FIU itself is involved in the push. A spokesperson for the school issued a statement saying FIU would welcome the opportunity to talk about putting the Trump presidential library there.
