Palm Beach police told CNN that no such gun had been turned in since Trump’s felony conviction while an official in New York, “briefed on the probation investigation,” told CNN that the outstanding gun “will be referred to local authorities in Florida to take whatever steps are necessary.” Reps for Trump did not respond when questioned by CNN.
