"When Donald Trump’s legal team filed their court paperwork protesting the Mar-a-Lago raid, a lawyer took the rare step of actually filing the paperwork in person. At a courthouse 44 miles from Mar-a-Lago. And they got a judge to oversee the case that was outside both West Palm Beach—where the raid took place—and the district where they filed," the Daily Beast reporter wrote.

Mar-a-Largo is in Palm Beach, not West Palm Beach. But West Palm Beach is the county ses of Palm Beach County, so I presume the courthouse is there. Confusing.
