Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump walks with Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi as they arrive at a campaign rally in Tampa on Aug. 24. The donation, made by the Donald J. Trump Foundation, violated federal rules that prohibit charities from donating to political candidates. Reichelderfer said that Bondi had not been aware of the complaints against Trump University when she asked for the contribution. Trump’s latest assertion that he had not spoken to Bondi about Trump University revived questions about why the New York real estate developer would have donated to the Florida attorney general. Days after that announcement, the pro-Bondi organization, And Justice for All, received the $25,000 donation from the Trump Foundation.
