本周三,少数南佛罗里达州居民提起诉讼,试图阻止该州将迈阿密滨水黄金地块移交给负责为前总统唐纳德·特朗普修建纪念图书馆的基金会。

这起诉讼指控特朗普、该基金会、佛罗里达州高级官员以及迈阿密戴德学院违反了美国宪法《国内薪酬条款》,该条款禁止各州在任总统提供经济利益。

佛罗里达州州长罗恩·德桑蒂斯和其他州官员于去年9月提出,将迈阿密市中心2.63英亩的州有土地捐赠给唐纳德·J·特朗普总统图书馆基金会有限公司。该非营利组织去年由特朗普的儿子埃里克·特朗普、女婿迈克尔·布卢斯以及曾代表特朗普集团的律师詹姆斯·基利在佛罗里达州创立。据当地房产评估师估价,这块土地价值约6300万美元,此前一直归迈阿密戴德学院所有,直到该校董事会去年投票决定将其移交给州政府。

埃里克·特朗普随后公布了该地块的规划方案,包括一座刻有特朗普名字的巨型塔楼,以及设有波音747“空军一号”展品的大厅。特朗普总统本人也曾表示,该图书馆将设有酒店或办公区域,相比其前任们修建的博物馆,更贴近他的其他房地产项目风格。

“我不主张修建单纯的图书馆或博物馆,”特朗普去年对记者说道。他还称这片土地位于“迈阿密最佳街区”。

在诉讼中,原告方表示,这些言论“清楚表明特朗普总统打算将这座摩天大楼商业化,为自己和家人谋取巨额利润”。诉讼还称,鉴于附近近期的其他地产交易,这片土地的价值可能高达数亿美元,如果在公开市场出售,其价值可使迈阿密戴德学院的捐赠基金翻倍。

“这些资金本可用于满足学院的研究需求、开设更多学士学位课程、吸引更多世界级设施和师资,或是降低学生开支,”诉讼文件中写道。

这起诉讼于本周三由宪法问责中心——华盛顿特区的自由派智库——以及佛罗里达州格尔伯·夏克特与格林伯格律师事务所联合向佛罗里达南区美国地方法院提起。

诉讼原告包括一名迈阿密戴德学院的学生、一家希望在该地块开展运营的本地活动家马文·邓恩旗下的非营利组织,以及两名迈阿密居民,他们称拟建的特朗普摩天大楼会遮挡他们的视野。

CNN已向白宫、图书馆基金会、迈阿密戴德学院和佛罗里达州政府寻求置评。

佛罗里达州官员为特朗普的后总统任期项目在“阳光之州”快速选址的行动,始于他重返白宫后不久。

去年,由共和党控制的州议会通过一项法案,并由德桑蒂斯签署生效,该法案禁止地方政府对总统图书馆项目进行监管,以防特朗普选择在其定居的家乡州修建图书馆。

同年秋季晚些时候,迈阿密戴德学院董事会召开会议,讨论“潜在房地产交易”。公共公告中未提及此次交易的其他细节,会议议程仅提到董事会将讨论向州政府移交地产的事宜,并未提及总统图书馆项目。

投票结束后不久,德桑蒂斯宣布,州内阁将在一周后投票决定将迈阿密戴德学院的这片土地移交给特朗普基金会。佛罗里达州总检察长詹姆斯·尤特迈尔也在社交媒体上发布了一段预先录制并剪辑过的相关计划视频。

本地活动家邓恩曾提起诉讼,指控迈阿密戴德学院违反了州公开会议法,试图阻止土地移交。去年11月,一名法官发布临时禁令,阻止土地转移。

但在迈阿密戴德学院董事会举行第二次投票、披露了土地移交目的的更多细节并允许公众发表意见后,法官于一个月后解除了禁令。

根据当地记录,该州已于今年1月正式将这片土地移交给图书馆基金会。

Locals sue to block prime Miami land from becoming Trump presidential library

A handful of South Florida residents filed a lawsuit Wednesday seeking to block the state from handing over a prime piece of Miami’s waterfront to the foundation tasked with building a legacy library for President Donald Trump.

The lawsuit accuses Trump, the foundation, top Florida officials and Miami Dade College of violating the Domestic Emoluments Clause in the US Constitution, which prohibits states from giving a financial benefit to a sitting president.

Gov. Ron DeSantis and other state officials moved last September to donate 2.63 acres of state-owned land in downtown Miami to the Donald J. Trump Presidential Library Foundation, Inc., a nonprofit formed last year in Florida by Trump’s son Eric Trump; his son-in-law Michael Boulos; and James Kiley, a lawyer who has represented the Trump Organization. The land, valued by the local property appraiser at about $63 million, previously belonged to Miami Dade College until the board voted last year to turn it over to the state.

Eric Trump has since announced plans for the site that include a massive tower emblazoned with the Trump name and a lobby that features a 747 Air Force One. President Trump himself has suggested the library would feature a hotel or offices and more closely mirror his other real estate endeavors than the museums built by his predecessors.

“I don’t believe in building libraries or museums,” Trump told reporters last year. He also said the land sits on the “best block in Miami.”

In their lawsuit, the plaintiffs said these statements “make clear that President Trump intends to monetize this skyscraper, generating significant profit for himself and his family.” The lawsuit also claims that the land is likely worth hundreds of millions of dollars given other recent property sales nearby and could double Miami Dade College’s endowment if sold on the open market.

“These funds could have been used to advance the college’s research needs, offer more bachelor’s degree programs, secure more world-class facilities and faculty, or reduce student expenses,” it said.

The lawsuit was filed jointly Wednesday in the US District Court for the Southern District of Florida by the Constitutional Accountability Center, a liberal Washington DC think tank, and the Florida law firm Gelber Schachter & Greenberg.

The plaintiffs in the lawsuit include a Miami Dade College student; a nonprofit owned by local activist Marvin Dunn that hoped to operate on the land; and two Miami residents who say the proposed Trump skyscraper would block their sightlines.

CNN has requested comment from the White House, the library foundation, Miami Dade College and the state of Florida.

Efforts by Florida officials to quickly find a home in the Sunshine State for Trump’s post-presidency project started soon after he returned to the White House.

A bill passed by the Republican-controlled state legislature and signed into law by DeSantis last year barred local governments from regulating presidential libraries in anticipation that Trump would move to build one in his adopted home state.

Later that fall, the Miami Dade College board conducted a meeting to discuss “potential real estate transactions.” No other details about the transaction were included in the public notice and the agenda stated only that the board would discuss conveying property to the state. A presidential library was not mentioned.

Shortly after the vote, DeSantis announced that the Cabinet would vote a week later to give the land from Miami Dade College to the Trump foundation. Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier also posted a pre-recorded and edited video on social media about the plans.

Dunn, the local activist, sued to stop the handoff in a lawsuit that accused Miami Dade College of violating the state’s opening meeting laws. In November, a judge granted a temporary injunction to block the transfer of land.

But the judge lifted the injunction a month later after the Miami Dade College board held a second vote that included more details about the purpose of the land transfer and allowed for public comment.

The state officially transferred the land to the library foundation in January, according to local records.
