When presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump holds a rally Saturday in downtown Tampa, Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi is scheduled to join him.
- Donald Trump, Florida AG to appear Saturday at Tampa rally
- Appearance comes amid scrutiny over Trump donation to Bondi in 2013
- Bondi says her office was never investigating Trump
- Register for tickets for the Trump rally
Bondi spoke out earlier this week about recent stories about her receiving a $25,000 donation from Trump in 2013. Bondi responded to reports that she ended an investigation into complaints against Trump University around the time she received the donation.
In a statement to the Tampa Bay Times, Bondi said her office was never investigating the billionaire, adding that she was "obviously devastated" at any implications.
Trump will be at the Tampa Convention Center on Saturday. The rally begins at 11 a.m.
Bondi's office said earlier this week that its statement about receiving only a single complaint was accurate at the time, because most of the complaints dealt with the Trump Institute, a separate corporate entity from Trump University, and were made before she took office at the start of 2011.
The Trump Institute was licensed by Trump to run his seminars, with Trump keeping a share of the profits, according to depositions in the Trump University case. In internal emails, Bondi's own staff appeared to lump Trump University and the Trump Institute together — as New York's lawsuit has done.
Bondi has endorsed Trump for president.
