LawNewz.com has previously reported on the — shall we say convenient — timing of a donation from Donald Trump to Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi. Back in 2013, Trump’s family foundation gave a $25,000 contribution supporting Bondi days after she announced she may join an investigation of Trump University. Bondi opted not to pursue the case, and Trump reportedly had to pay a fine for making a political contribution through a charitable organization.

But it turns out there was more. Months later, in March 2014, Bondi held a fundraiser at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort, according to a report by The Huffington Post. Now, that on its own means nothing, as Mar-a-Lago is a famous venue in Bondi’s home state. But consider that Trump charges his own campaign about $140,000 for each event held there, and compare that to the $4,855.65 that the Republican Party of Florida laid out for the evening. That steep discount is a pretty valuable contribution for a campaign fundraiser that carried a suggested minimum donation of $3,000 per attendee, even if it was only a “small event on the lawn … featuring snacks and refreshments, attended by about 50 people,” as a Bondi aide told The Huffington Post.

That’s not all. Trump and his daughter Ivanka gave $125,000 to the Florida Republican Party, Bondi’s biggest financial backer, and they had each previously given $500 to the Attorney General’s campaign. - LAWNEWS.com
