Attorney General Pam Bondi rejected renewed assertions Tuesday that a $25,000 political contribution from Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump influenced her office in 2013 to dismiss allegations that Floridians had been bilked by Trump University.
Addressing the news media before the start of a state Cabinet meeting, Bondi contended only a single complaint was filed by a Floridian against the Trump educational company between the time she took office in 2011 and the time of the donation. She also said she had no knowledge of the complaint at the time it was made and that a lower-level staff member found no justification to investigate.
