FLORIDA: AG Pam Bondi Endorses Trump [VIDEO]

Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi, who fought relentlessly against same-sex marriage, today endorsed Donald Trump. As with all things Trump, there’s a shady backstory. Via The Intercept:

Trump just won a key endorsement going into Tuesday’s Florida primary: the state’s attorney general, Pam Bondi. But her bigger favor to Trump may have been her decision in 2013 not to pursue an investigation of Trump’s for-profit education chain after he made a big donation to her re-election campaign. As Scott Maxwell of the Orlando Sentinel reported at the time, Bondi announced in September 2013 that her office was reviewing a series of complaints related to the Trump Institute of Boca Raton, a for-profit education company that is no longer in operation. Three days after the report that Bondi was considering joining other states’ attorneys general in taking action against Trump’s for-profit education chain, the real estate mogul dumped $25,000 into a committee organized for Bondi’s re-election. Bondi ended up taking no action.

As anyone who has seen Trump’s stump speeches knows, he regularly brags about buying politicians because he’s such a good businessman.
