Trump wrote a check personally from his Foundation to Pam Bondi, Florida's Attorney General. Then Bondi decided that Trump's bogus "university" was not worth investigating.

There is your proof.
This has been all over the news.
It is illegal for foundations to contribute to politicians.
Trump was fined, and paid the fine. Or at least said he would.
-
That does look bad, how much jail time is Pam Bondi in for?
-
So far she has not arrested herself, and apparently she did no it return the money, either.
There have been various scandals with Bondi. Google Pam Bondi Scandal for a more complete list.
I have never voted for her.
-
If this is serious then she ought to be investigated and perhaps prosecuted.
I would feel silly for complaining about HRC doing this if I can't call it wrong when a Republican does the same thing.
-
I am pretty sure Rick Scott will not demand that Bondi investigate herself, or appoint a special prosecutor.
It was clearly a bribe, and not even a well done bribe. Trump actually used his foundation account to send Bondi the money.
He is supposed to know the rules about foundations and how they cannot donate to political campaigns. His signature is on the check, by the way.
-
Some new information on this is a timeline that puts the check earlier.
This might make a lot of difference .
Like we never hear of it again?
