REPUBLICAN PRESIDENTIAL NOMINEE DONALD TRUMP AND HIS CAMPAIGN HAVE REPEATEDLY ATTACKED HILLARY CLINTON OVER HER TIES TO THE CLINTON FOUNDATION. THEY’VE GONE AS FAR AS ACCUSING THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE AND HER HUSBAND, FORMER PRESIDENT BILL CLINTON, OF TRADING GOVERNMENT ACCESS AND FAVORS IN EXCHANGE FOR CASH DURING HER TENURE AT THE STATE DEPARTMENT. BUT WHEN PRESSED ABOUT ALLEGATIONS SURROUNDING THE GOP CANDIDATE’S OWN CHARITABLE GIVING VIA HIS CHARITY, THE TRUMP FOUNDATION, THE CAMPAIGN WOULD RATHER LOOK THE OTHER WAY AND DISMISS LEGITIMATE QUESTIONS FROM THE PRESS. “I DON’T SEE IT AS JOURNALISM,” TRUMP CAMPAIGN MANAGER KELLYANNE CONWAY TOLD CNN ON TUESDAY, WHEN ASKED WHY THE CAMPAIGN WAS WITHHOLDING EVIDENCE OF THE CANDIDATE’S CHARITABLE GIVING. “I SEE IT AS BADGERING. THE WASHINGTON POST REVEALED SATURDAY THAT NEARLY ALL DONATIONS MADE TO THE TRUMP FOUNDATION SINCE 2008 HAD ACTUALLY COME FROM PEOPLE OTHER THAN THE REAL ESTATE BUSINESSMAN. TRUMP HAD DISTRIBUTED THE MONEY TO VARIOUS ORGANIZATIONS, OFTEN UNDER THE IMPRESSION IT WAS UNDER HIS NAME. THE POST INVESTIGATION FOLLOWS A REPORT THAT THE FORMER REALITY TV PERSONALITY MADE AN ILLEGAL CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTION OF $25,000 VIA HIS FOUNDATION IN SUPPORT OF FLORIDA’S ATTORNEY GENERAL PAM BONDI DAYS BEFORE SHE DROPPED AN INVESTIGATION INTO TRUMP UNIVERSITY ― IN WHAT APPEARS TO BE AN ACTUAL EXAMPLE OF PAY-TO-PLAY.
