Trump-Bondi Timeline Doesn’t Let Trump Off the Hook

Yesterday I linked to a NY Times story which suggested that maybe the $25,000 from Trump to Florida AG Bondi was not meant to influence her choice on whether to go after Trump U fraud claims, on grounds that the check came after the matter came to light:

But documents obtained this week by The New York Times, including a copy of Mr. Trump’s check, at least partly undercut that timeline. Although the check was received by Ms. Bondi’s committee four days after the Sentinel report, and was recorded as such in her financial disclosure filings, it was actually dated and signed by Mr. Trump four days before the article appeared.

But now there is this from the Orlando Sentinel:

Part of Bondi’s claim has been ignorance –that she didn’t even know her office had been asked to probe Trump.

If so, she was just about the only one in her office who didn’t know what was going on.

I found emails from Aug. 30, 2013 — more than two weeks before Bondi’s campaign took the money from Trump — copied to Bondi’s chief of staff, deputy attorney general, assistant attorney general and spokeswoman that mention the New York Attorney General pursuing a case against Trump University and noting that Florida complaints were involved.

(My emphasis).

Will this new info appear in the NY Times?
