A Trump spokesman did not respond to a question about whether Trump would attend the RNC meeting. Trump has stayed in his Mar-a-Lago resort, which is also in Palm Beach.
While Trump is considering a return in 2024, the committee has been careful to show neutrality, as the former president is no longer a incumbent. It invited other prospective presidential candidates to its annual winter meeting earlier this month. Trump ultimately did not appear in person at the event, which took place the same week as the riot in Capitol.
It has not been decided where the donor refuge will take place in Palm Beach in April. But people familiar with the planning say it will not be in Mar-a-Lago.
The retreat usually attracts a variety of important party donors. The committee has also chosen in recent years to hold its spring confab in Palm Beach.
