Trump Claims Donation to Florida AG Came Without Strings - Houston Chronicle
The Trump business said it had taken all necessary steps to correct the errors.
Asked by reporters what he expected to receive in return for his donation, Trump said that he and Bondi have known each other for years.
“I have a lot of respect for her,” he said. “Never spoke to her about that at all. I just have a lot of respect for her and she’s very popular.”
Trump’s assertion contradicts statements made to the Associated Press by Marc Reichelderfer - who worked as a consultant on Bondi’s re-election effort - that suggested Bondi spoke with Trump and solicited the donation directly. Reichelderfer told the AP at the time that Bondi had not been aware of the complaints against Trump University when she solicited the contribution.
