Trump took $17 million in insurance for damage few remember

PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) Donald Trump said he received a $17 million insurance payment in 2005 for hurricane damage to Mar-a-Lago, his private club in Palm Beach, but The Associated Press found little evidence of such large-scale damage.
Two years after a series of storms, the real estate tycoon said he didnt know how much had been spent on repairs but acknowledged he pocketed some of the money. Trump transferred funds into his personal accounts, saying that under the terms of his policy, you didnt have to reinvest it.
In a deposition in an unrelated civil lawsuit, Trump said he got the cash from a very good insurance policy and cited ongoing work to the historic home.
Landscaping, roofing, walls, painting, leaks, artwork in the you know, the great tapestries, tiles, Spanish tiles, the beach, the erosion, he said of the storm damage. Its still not what it was.
Trumps description of extensive damage does not match those of Mar-a-Lago members and even Trump loyalists. In an interview about the estates history, Trumps longtime former butler, Anthony Senecal, recalled no catastrophic damage. He said Hurricane Wilma, the last of a string of storms that barreled through in 2004 and 2005, flattened trees behind Mar-a-Lago, but the house itself only lost some roof tiles.
That house has never been seriously damaged, said Senecal, discussing Mar-a-Lagos luck with hurricanes. I was there for all of them.
