SANIKA: GREG, YOU’VE BEEN TAKING A CLOSER LOOK AT WHITE HOUSE LEGAL ADVISER PAM BONDI. GREG: THAT’S RIGHT. REPUBLICAN FORMER ATTORNEY GENERAL PAM BONDI WAS POPULAR WITH CONSERVATIVES AND WIDELY APPLAUDED FOR TAKING STEPS TO SHUT DOWN PILL MILLS IN THE SUNSHINE STATE AND LEVEL CRIMINAL CHARGES AGAINST DOCTORS AND PROVIDERS OF THOSE ADDICTIVE DRUGS. NOW SHE’S FIGHTING TO KEEP THE PRESIDENT FROM BEING REMOVED FROM OFFICE. MS. BONDI: THE NEXT PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, DONALD TRUMP. GREG: PAM BONDI WAS AN EARLY ENDORSER OF THEN CANDIDATE DONALD TRUMP IN 2016, A BOLD MOVE CONSIDERING SHE WAS STILL UNDER INVESTIGATION BY A SPECIAL STATE PROSECUTOR. CAMPAIGN FINANCE RECORDS SHOW THE DONALD J. TRUMP FOUNDATION GAVE A PAC SUPPORTING BONDI’S REELECTION A $25,000 CONTRIBUTION. AT THE TIME, THE NEW YORK ATTORNEY GENERAL WAS INVESTIGATING COMPLAINTS AGAINST TRUMP UNIVERSITY, BUT BONDI’S OFFICE NEVER INVESTIGATED FLORIDA CLAIMS AGAINST TRUMP UNIVERSITY. MS. BONDI: I KNOW DONALD, AND I’M PROUD TO KNOW DONALD. GREG: TWO MONTHS AFTER BONDI DELIVERED THIS SPEECH AT THE REPUBLICAN NATIONAL CONVENTION, THE HUFFINGTON POST REVEALED RECORDS SHOWING MR. TRUMP HOSTED A $50,000 FUNDRAISER FOR BON IN 2014 AT MAR-A-LAGO. JUST MONTHS AFTER THE PRESIDENT CLAIMED VICTORY ON ELECTION NIGHT, THE INVESTIGATION, ORDERED BY GOVERNOR SCOTT, CONCLUDED SHE DID NOT BREAK THE LAW OR MISUSE THE POWERS OF HER OFFICE BY NOT INVESTIGATING TRUMP UNIVERSITY. EVEN SO, THE TRUMP FOUNDATION DONATION TO BONDI WAS DETERMINED TO BE ILLEGAL. TRUMP WAS ORDERED TO PAY AN IRS FINE. TRUMP UNIVERSITY CLOSED, AND IN DECEMBER 2018, THE PRESIDENT SIGNED AN AGREEMENT TO DISSOLVE THE FOUNDATION. JUST A MONTH EARLIER, MULTIPLE NEWS ORGANIZATIONS REPORTED THE PRESIDENT DISCUSSED WITH BONDI A WHITE HOUSE POSITION, POSSIBLY AS ATTORNEY GENERAL. BONDI WOULD LATER GO ON TO JOIN LOBBYING FIRM BALLARD PARTNERS A YEAR AGO UNTIL NOVEMBER, WHEN THE PRESIDENT ASKED HER TO JOIN THE WHITE HOUSE LEGAL TEAM. JUST AS IT’S BEGINNING ITS DEFENSE, AN ATTORNEY FOR LEV PARNAS, WHO IS FACING INDICTMENT FOR ALLEGED ILLEGAL FUNDRAISING, POSTED THIS PHOTO ON TWITTER OF PARNAS AND BONDI. WHAT PAM BONDI’S ROLE AT THE WHITE HOUSE MIGHT BE IF, AS MANY EXPECT, THE PRESIDENT IS ACQUITTED, WE JUST DON’T KNOW
