Debbie Wasserman Schultz (FL-23) issued the following statement this morning ahead of a meeting between President-Elect Trump and Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi:\r\n\r\n\t\u201cDonald Trump campaigned on promises to hold government officials accountable by \u2018draining the swamp\u2019 \u2013 but apparently those pledges don\u2019t apply to Mr. Trump or his cronies. In fact, his meeting with Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi is anything but that. Earlier this year, alarmed Floridians raised questions about whether Bondi \u2013 our state\u2019s highest ranking law enforcement official \u2013 had engaged in a troubling and potentially illegal pay-to-play scandal with the President-Elect over Trump University, his higher education sham over which he\u2019s since had to pay an unprecedented $25 million fine. Attorney General Bondi declined to pursue a similar case in Florida after Mr. Trump made an illegal donation to her campaign, in which he made a political contribution from his charitable foundation. Now, they are meeting behind closed doors, ostensibly to discuss a job. It\u2019s time to come clean. The Attorney General and the President-Elect need to once and for all speak honestly about Trump University and his campaign contributions \u2013 instead of rewarding illegal behavior with the spoils of victory.\u201d\r\n\r\n\t###\r\n\r\n\tContact:\r\n\r\n\tGeoff Burgan, Geoff.Burgan@mail.house.gov, 202.225.7931", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://wassermanschultz.house.gov/index.cfm?sectionid=25&itemid=1338"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.6846010219305754, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
