“CNN’s Jeff Zeleny Highlights Trump’s History Of “Breaking Campaign Finance Laws” And “Evading” Legal Donation Limits”

Zeleny:

ZELENY: In some cases they’re legal violations and he has been fined by the local entities, largely here in New York City. We can look at a list of some of them, I believe. In 1985, he evaded a limit by 18 subsidiary companies there. In 1990s, he was fined for exceeding limits by nearly $50,000.

CAMEROTA: Right, illegal.

ZELENY: And 2000, fined $250,000 by New York. And then, of course, it’s these tens of thousands of dollars to four attorneys general, two Republicans, two Democrats, looking into Trump University. So it certainly takes away any veneer of thefact that he is, A, new to the political system, and, B, sort of would change the system because in fact he’s been a part of this system for a very long time.

CAMEROTA: And it certainly continues this pay-to-play conversation that we have been having for a few weeks now.

ZELENY: And it’s on both sides. But in his case, there are actual examples of where he’s been charged with doing so. In the Clinton Foundation there have been simply allegations by him, but we have found no smoking gun.
