TALLAHASSEE – Florida Gov. Rick Scott has assigned a state attorney to investigate a complaint against Attorney General Pam Bondi over a $25,000 donation made to her PAC by President-elect Donald Trump.

The complaint, that the attorney general may have ditched thoughts of joining an investigation into Trump University’s Florida offshoot, Trump Institute, in return for the contribution, is one of a number Bondi faces at both state and federal level.

Massachusetts-based criminal attorney J. Whitfield Larrabee, who has already filed complaints with the Florida Commission on Ethics, the Florida Elections Commission and Florida Bar, said he wants to know if there is any potential criminal wrongdoing in connection with the donation, which was delivered in September 2013.

Larrabee, based in Boston, appears to be the only complainant against Bondi at the state level. She faces various federal investigations.

1. Will be interesting to watch. Not much doubt in my mind that Trump bribed her and she accepted.

It's not going to be easy to kick this under the rug at this point, although I'm sure GOPers will try.
