Donald Trump defended himself Monday against accusations that he made a $25,000 political contribution to a group backing Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi so that she wouldn't investigate his Trump University project.
"I never even spoke to her about it at all.
She's a fine person.
Never spoke to her about it.
Never," Trump told reporters.
Trump in 2013 donated $25,000 to a political group supporting Bondi's reelection bid, just days after her office weighed investigated the scandal-ridden Trump University.
Bondi is now a top Trump supporter in Florida.
The GOP nominee claims he "never spoke to" Bondi about the investigations into Trump University.
"I've just known Pam Bondi for years.
I have a lot of respect for her," Trump said.
"I just have a lot of respect for her as a person.
And she has done an amazing job as the attorney general of Florida."
