On Monday Donald Trump insisted he never spoke to Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi about a $25,000 donation his foundation made to her in 2013 as she was trying to figure out whether to investigate Trump University.
As reported by Politico both Trump and Bondi have been the subject of criticism in regards to the donation. Critics have been saying Florida attorney’s political committee received the donation while deliberating a fraud case against the Republican nominee’s now-defunct real estate school in an effort to persuade Bondi not to investigate the school.For months Bondi has publicly denied the reports and Trump echoed the same thing on Monday.
Trump said:

She has done an amazing job as attorney general of Florida. She is very popular.
Trump also exuded confidence about the still-pending Trump University case. He said:
Many of the attorney generals turned that case down because I’ll win that case in court. Many turned that down.
