Lawyers for the former president proposed using “a previously approved facility at or near his residence” — presumably Mar-a-Lago — instead of a secure location run by the federal courts.
Your honor, I would like the opportunity to interview the underaged girl accusing me of rape, privately in my basement, so we can try to reenact the crime and confirm her testamony.
While Mr. Trump’s lawyers refused to offer many details about their preferred location, they told Judge Cannon that it was “a previously approved facility at or near his residence” — an apparent reference to Mar-a-Lago, Mr. Trump’s private club in Florida.
The wording is key. "See, they let me keep it at my residence now, I did nothing wrong."
