Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi got a bit of good news Friday after the Florida Bar said it doesn’t have jurisdiction in one of the three ethics complaints filed against her by a Massachusetts lawyer. The complaints came amid calls for an independent investigation into a $25,000 donation from a Donald Trump family foundation toward Bondi’s reelection campaign.

Bondi reportedlypersonally solicited the contribution from Trump while her office considered joining a multi-state lawsuit against Trump University. “These attacks are without merit,” Bondi told MSNBC, “and I am confident it will be shown they have no basis in fact.” Read more http://www.msnbc.com/msnbc/florida-...trump-donation-says-attacks-are-without-merit
