Bill Clinton says Trump check was to 'pay off' Pam Bondi http://www.tampabay.com/blogs/the-buzz-florida-politics/bill-clinton-says-trump-check-was-to-pay-off-pam-bondi/2292575 … via @TB_Times

In Orlando today, former President Bill Clinton said that a $25,000 check from the Donald J. Trump Foundation to Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi's reelection was an attempt to bribe her.

"He uses his foundation's money to pay off your attorney general," Clinton told the Orlando crowd, according to a Politico report.
