As if the pay-for-play allegations against Donald Trump weren’t bad enough, the evidence of his participation in government corruption deepens.
It turns out not only did Trump donate $25,000 to Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi’s political committee before she inexplicably decided not to pursue charges against Trump University, he also held a posh fundraiser for Bondi at the infamous Mar-a-Lago estate.
The Huffington Post reported on Wednesday that although Trump did not financially contribute to Bondi at his fundraiser, he hosted the event at the steep price of $3,000 per person and allowed the event to take place at Mar-a-Lago at the small price of $4,855.65- practically for free. Keep in mind, this is the same estate Trump has charged his own campaign $140,000 to rent.
Here is what we now know:
- – Pam Bondi personally solicited donations from Donald Trump after her office intimated they might join the New York Attorney General in opening a fraud investigation against Trump University
- – Trump contributed $25,000 to Pam Bondi’s political committee in September 2013
- – Bondi then decided not to investigate the numerous fraud complaints against Trump University
- – In March of 2014, Trump then hosted a high-dollar fundraiser for Bondi’s reelection campaign at Mar-a-Lago
A $25,000 donation PLUS continuing benefits like lavish fundraisers? I have to hand it to him, the man sure does know how to say “thank you.”
Just last week, the IRS fined Donald Trump $2,500 for the Bondi contribution. The penalty was assessed after the IRS discovered that Trump’s charitable foundation made the political campaign donation, which is against tax rules governing non-profit organizations.
Also uncovered was the “error” on Trump’s tax returns, obscuring the political donation by “accidentally” listing the $25,000 contribution to a Kansas charity with a similar sounding name instead of Bondi’s political campaign (allowing the donation to go unnoticed by the IRS). What a strange coincidence and surely an honest mistake from the world’s most honest and trustworthy political candidate ever.
