Welcome to

The national media, along with some late night talk show hosts, are skewering Florida attorney gerneral Pam Bondi’s relationship with Donald Trump. As Matt Galka tells us, democrats are using it to try and pile on.

Late night host Stephen Colbert ripped Attorney General Pam Bondi’s relationship with Donald Trump last week.

A 25 thousand dollar check from the Trump foundation to Bondi’s campaign came right around the time the Attorney General decided not to make a case over Trump University fraud allegations in 2013.  Democrats are making the connection between the check and these comments from Trump back in January.

“I’ve given to everybody, because it’s my job! Because when I want something I get it! When I call, they kiss my *bleep*” he said in January.

“Our state Attorney General is supposed to be looking out for us in Florida and is taking illegal campaign contributions from Donald Trump,” said Damien Filer with Progress Florida.

But the Attorney General’s office says this was not a pay for play situation.

A spokesman sent us a lengthy email pushing back against the allegations that the contribution led to Bondi choosing not to pursue legal action against Trump University. The email cites that there was never a multistate case, there was never an invitation to join the original lawsuit in New York, and that there was only one Florida complaint against Trump U in 2013. The Attorney General was noticeably absent from a Florida Missing Children’s Day even in Tallahassee this (Monday morning). An event she usually attends…and her office did not make her available for an interview about the Trump donation.

The Trump Foundation is a charity – which means they’re not allowed to directly engage in politics. Trump had to pay a fine for the contribution and ended up making the 25 thousand dollar donation to Bondi’s political action committee.
