TALLAHASSEE, Fla. A state ethics panel Friday decided not to look further into a complaint against Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi over her solicitation of a campaign donation from President Donald Trump in 2013.
The hearing conducted by the Florida Commission on Ethics was closed to the public but Tallahassee lawyer Mark Herron represented Whitfield Larrabee, the Boston attorney who filed the complaint, at the hearing and said the panel found no probable cause to investigate the matter further.
Bondi personally asked Trump for a campaign donation in August 2013. Trump's charity, the Trump Foundation, issued a $25,000 check to her political committee the following month.
Her office at the time was considering what to do about complaints lodged about Trump University, a real estate investment seminar that many customers say was worthless and swindled them of thousands of dollars.
