Lake — a former news anchor who lost her bid for Arizona governor and, like Trump, claimed that the election was rigged against her — spent a significant portion of her time at Mar-a-Lago during its open season, the source tells PEOPLE. (In the summer months, the property generally clears out and even Trump heads to his golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey.)
“Kari Lake is there every night … She’s there all the time,” the source tells PEOPLE. “There’s a suite there that she practically lives in.”
