Florida Republicans ignore calls to investigate reports Trump bribed GOP attorney general
"In 2013, Trump’s charitable foundation cut a $25,000 check to Bondi during her re-election campaign. The donation came to light after the Center for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington filed a complaint with the IRS because charitable organizations are not allowed to make political donations. Four days earlier, the Sentinel had reported Bondi was considering joining a New York state class action lawsuit against Trump University after receiving complaints filed by Florida residents. After receiving the donation, Bondi opted out of the suit, telling citizens to find their own lawyers online or join the New York suit. The Associated Press reported this week that Bondi had personally solicited the donation from Trump, noting the timing of the donation and Bondi’s decision not to join in suing Trump in the fraud case are important because Trump openly brags about expecting favors from politicians in return for financial donations."
