Clinton Camp Hits Back At Trump's IRS Fine: That's 'Actual Pay-To-Play!'

Hillary Clinton's campaign fired back Friday on the news that Donald Trump paid an IRS penalty for violating tax law with a donation to a political committee backing the Florida attorney general, calling it "an actual pay-to-play scandal" in a statement.

Clinton spokeswoman Jennifer Palmieri's remarks repurposed Trump's own attacks on the former secretary of state, whom he has accused of running a "pay-to-play" scheme trading access to the State Department for donors to the Clinton Foundation.

"While the Clinton Foundation has received the highest ratings from independent charitable watchdogs, Donald Trump's use of foundation money to donate to the Florida Attorney General actually broke the law," Palmieri said in the statement. "Worst of all, it appears the payment may have been intended to stave off an investigation into the sham Trump University that has ripped off unsuspecting students."

Through his charitable foundation, Trump improperly donated $25,000 to a group associated with Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi's (R) campaign in 2013, a violation of the tax code. At the time, Bondi had been considering whether to bring fraud charges over his Trump University.

Nice to see Hillary on the offensive. I want to see her and surrogates in the media pounding this orange ball of lard all away until election day.

This is far worse than anything discovered so far with the Clinton Foundation. Not only is it straight up bribery to have charges dropped, it involved a charitable foundation making a political contribution. How is this not criminal? I'd expect this could be prosecuted.

In other words, Hillary finds it impossible to defend against the charges against her.
