But this complaint, to be filed Wednesday by Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, charges that Trump's gift also violated a separate IRS rule at the same time.

That rule prohibits "self-dealing:" schemes in which nonprofit leaders use their charities' money to benefit themselves.

In this case, the watchdog group alleges that Trump as president of the Donald J. Trump Foundation gave this gift in 2013 in order to influence Bondi, whose office was considering whether to pursue an investigation against Trump University. Bondi's office ultimately decided not to pursue that investigation. Three separate lawsuits, including one by the New York Attorney General, allege that Trump University defrauded its students with false promises.

In its letter to the IRS, the liberal watchdog group said it appears "the [Trump Foundation's] contribution was intended to provide a private benefit to Mr. Trump and his business interests ... a form of self-dealing prohibited by the tax code and IRS regulations."

In the spring following that $25,000 contribution to Bondis political committee, the Huffington Post reports, Trump hosted a $3,000-per-person fundraiser at Mar-a-Lago, his resort in Palm Beach, Florida. Around the same time, Trump and his daughter Ivanka donated $125,000 to the Republican Party of Floridaof which Bondi was a primary beneficiary.

Trump didnt write Bondi a check on the night of the fundraiser at Mar-a-Lago, but the use of the space itself constitutes a significant donation. From HuffPo:

Space at the resort is expensive to rent, and Trump has charged his own presidential campaign roughly $140,000 per event for use of the mansion.

In contrast, the Republican Party of Florida paid only $4,855.65 for the Bondi fundraiser, cutting a check on March 25, 2014. It was a small event on the lawn ... featuring snacks and refreshments, attended by about 50 people, a Bondi campaign staffer told The Huffington Post.

I am sure it won't take much urging to get the IRS on conservative groups. I think they have a department for that.

who cares about the IRS, the real story is thst Trump paid off the Texas and Florida AG to have potential criminal and definitely civil actions dropped.

The content available on a site dedicated to bringing folks to America should not be promoting racial discord, euro-supremacy, discrimination based on religion , exclusion of groups from immigration based on where they were born, disenfranchisement of voters rights based on how they might vote.

Poor Melania!!!

Speaking of which...

I know you have the inside scoop. But what's her deal? I have a theory...
