The Miami Grand Prix will be held on May 5 at the International Autodrome in Miami Gardens. Race officials have declined to comment on the story publicly, while Witkoff told the Post 'this is something fake, for sure,' but declined to comment any further.

The fundraiser was reportedly set up by a Hollywood, Florida golf club which is owned by Witkoff's real estate company. …
