Trump Gave 10 Times Legal Max To Florida Attorney General



Trump Gave 10 Times The Personal Max To Florida Attorney General | Huffington Post

Donald Trump contributed 10 times as much money as was allowed by law to the 2006 gubernatorial campaign of Florida’s then-Attorney General Charlie Crist, according to a Huffington Post review of state campaign finance records.

The donations that exceeded the limit were all made on the same day through companies Trump owns. Trump did not disclose the connection, and regulators did not identify the gifts as coming from Trump. All told, Trump made nine contributions of $500 to Crist’s campaign on Aug. 25, 2005, for a total of $4,500. At the time, the maximum allowable donation in Florida from an individual or corporation was $500, a sum that Trump had already given Crist’s campaign as a personal donation in June of that year.

Breaking the law seems to be a very common things with Trump

You do not even read your own sources, do you:

"Florida defines “person” to include an individual, corporation, association, joint venture or company, so a person and that person’s entities each can contribute $500. Trump’s contributions masked his total giving, but don’t appear to violate state campaign finance laws in effect at the time."

IOW, he used the existing law to get around the limit. What a surprise...
