On September 13, 2013, the Florida Attorney General’s office announced that it was considering taking legal action against Trump University,
amid allegations that the real-estate investment school had defrauded its student body.
Four days later, Donald Trump’s personal charity
(illegally) donated $25,000 to a political group aligned with Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi’s reelection campaign. Shortly thereafter, the Sunshine State’s chief prosecutor decided that there were “insufficient grounds” to proceed with a probe of the mogul’s school.
Last summer, the
Associated Press revealed that Bondi had personally solicited a donation from Trump — around the same time that her office was debating whether to pursue an investigation of his university.
At a 2015 GOP primary debate, Trump
boasted of his talent for buying favors from politicians, explaining, “When they call, I give. And you know what? When I need something from them, two years later, three years later, I call them, and they are there for me.”
