Not Just Florida

It looks like Trump made a habit out of donating to Attorneys General who were investigating his business:

Donald Trump donated about $140,000 to state attorneys general or candidates for the office between 2001 and 2003, some of whom were reviewing cases or decisions that would impact the real estate mogul’s business, the Wall Street Journal reported on Wednesday.

Trump in particular donated to several attorneys general in New York going back to the 1980s, up to the current attorney general, Democrat Eric Schneiderman, according to records reviewed by the Wall Street Journal.

The Wall Street Journal’s report follows the news that Trump had to pay a $2,500 penalty to the Internal Revenue Service for an improper donation the Trump Foundation made to a group supporting Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi. Bondi’s office ultimately did not join a lawsuit filed against Trump University by the New York attorney general.

I guess he knows what he is talking about when he says the system is rigged.
