House Democrats seek investigation of Trump Foundation
  • 8 years ago
House Democrats are seeking a Justice Department investigation of the Trump Foundation, following reports about a large donation he gave to Florida's attorney general in 2013. Trump donated $25,000 to Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi's campaign as her office was considering opening an investigation into Trump University. Bondi's office did not open an investigation, and Trump and Bondi have both said there was no wrongdoing and said the donation was not tied to any favors. The donation gained new attention following reports that Trump agreed to pay a $2,500 fine to the IRS because he originally gave to Bondi's campaign from his charity, the Trump Foundation. The Trump campaign has repeatedly declined to provide evidence of his donations.
