BUSTED: Ivanka Also Bribed Florida Attorney General To Cover Up Trump U Scandal

New information has surfaced tying Ivanka Trump to the mushrooming political bribery scandal surrounding Trump and the Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi’s unusual decision to cease investigating Trump University.

Donald Trump operated the unlicensed University out of 40 Wall Street in New York City, and now faces a major federal trial this November, for both racketeering and consumer fraud.

<snip>

The newly revealed July donation shows that contact may have started between the prosecutor and the investigated Trump well before then. As Bondi noted, it took a long time to arrange the larger donation. Just fifteen days after the New York AG sued, but before the Florida AG said anything, Ivanka Trump sent Bondi a $500 donation. Public records show that Ivanka Trump’s donation to Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi came just a few days before the Orlando Sentinel’s September 13th, 2013 report that the Florida Attorney General opened an investigation into the Trump University con.

From the look of things, Bondi was not satisfied with the $1,000 combined donations from Trump and daughter. Under Florida, election law they’d be capped at $1,000 donation for the whole election cycle – which ended over 15 months later with her landslide re-election – and that’s when the larger political contribution was arranged.

Just four days after news of the investigation was reported by the Orlando Sentinel, the Donald J. Trump Foundation (a 501c3 charity) infamously donated $25,000 to And Justice For All, a 527 electioneering organization controlled by Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi. - OccupyDemocrats.com

the Miami Herald's. However, the info came through AP so could be a lie. It'd be best to wait for confirmation by other sources.
