Timeline of Bondi Bribe (excerpt from Drum article, Mother Jones)
Late August: Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi calls Donald Trump to ask for a donation to her reelection campaign.
September 10: In an unusual show of interest in a down-ballot race in Florida, Ivanka Trump donates $500 to Bondi. Apparently that's insultingly small.
September 13: Bondi tells the Orlando Sentinel that her office is "currently reviewing the allegations" that Trump University has defrauded its students.
September 17: The Trump Foundation makes a $25,000 contribution to a PAC backing Bondi.
October 15: The Florida Attorney General's office backtracks, telling the Orlando Sentinel there was never any consideration of joining the lawsuit against Trump U because they had received only one complaint during the time Bondi was in office. This was untrue: the AG's office had received a couple dozen complaints, but had weeded them out so they could say there was only one.

Thought I'd post this since I haven't seen the timeline in any articles thus far. This is so incredibly incriminating.
