Several large moving trucks were spotted in the Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Florida, where President Trump will move ahead of the inauguration of President Joe Biden on Wednesday.
At least two trucks were parked outside the resort and workers were seen moving boxes inside, WPTV reported in Palm Beach. A nearby security presence included helicopters flying overhead and patrol boats.
Local authorities announced the closure of the road over several days this week. A letter to local residents said the closures were necessary for “safety and security reasons”, according to the report.
Trump is expected to leave the White House on the morning of the inauguration for the flight to Mar-a-Lago, White House correspondent John Roberts reported. Trump is expected to live mainly on Mar-a-Lago after leaving office.
Trump plans to leave early and be on the ground in Palm Beach before Biden is inaugurated so he can make a final flight on Air Force One, sources told Fox News. If the flight lands after Biden is inaugurated, the aircraft will be named ‘Special Air Mission 29000’.
The president will hold a farewell event at Joint Base Andrews before the inauguration. He is expected to make remarks to service members and base staff before leaving for Florida.
Several of Trump’s White House staffers are expected to continue working for him at Mar-a-Lago.
Trump has already indicated that he will not attend Biden’s inauguration, and will break a years-long precedent in which presidents are available for the transfer of power to their successor. Vice President Mike Pence will be here.
