Trump donated to attorneys general who dropped Trump U. inquiries
Trump donated to attorneys general who dropped Trump U. inquiries
Attorneys general in Florida and Texas who declined to pursue lawsuits against the now-defunct Trump University received political contributions from Donald Trump, according to an Associated Press report.
Trump donated $35,000 to the successful gubernatorial campaign of then-Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott three years after a probe into the university’s "possibly deceptive trade practices" was dropped by his office when the university agreed to cease its Texas operations.
Abbott's office pushed back against the report in a statement to The Hill on Friday, saying that the then-attorney general was just doing his job.

We live in a time in which decent and otherwise sensible people are surrendering too easily to the hectoring of morons or extremists.

In our political-judicial system, is there anything that money can't buy?
