NEW: Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi will be named to a post in the Trump White House, sources tell me. Trump aides finalizing her role.

To recap, in 2013, Bondi’s office was investigating fraud claims against known fraud factory Trump U. Trump illegally contributed $25K via his “charity” to Bondi’s reelection campaign. The Trump U probe went away.
After the investigation was dropped, Trump made a substantially higher in-kind donation by holding a fundraiser for Bondi at his tacky-ass mansion in Florida, charging Bondi $5 grand for use of the facility, which he would later charge his own presidential campaign $140K to use.
Paid? Played!
Quid? Pro-quo’d!
On the bright side, if this deal goes down, the citizens of Florida will be rid of Crooked Pam, at least at the state level. But her replacement will almost certainly be someone just as venal and corrupt.
