Kamala Harris accepted donations from then- 'vile' Trump 8 years ago

Court papers came back recently showing that Democratic 2020 presidential hopeful Kamala Harris accepted a campaign donation from Donald Trump in 2011 for her re-election campaign as California's attorney general, according to Fox News. Harris has recently called President Trump "vile," but he wasn't too vile to accept his donation.

The report said Harris accepted a $5,000 contribution from "vile" Trump, who donated extensively to political candidates of both parties during his tenure as the head of the Trump Organization.

Then-New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman, who was accused of a pay to play scandal and subsequently resigned,  served as the connecting point between the Harris campaign and Trump. Ivanka also helped with the transaction.

The details were unearthed in an affidavit that was part of a 2013 ethics complaint by Donald Trump against Schneiderman, who Trump said gave him the impression a probe into Trump University was over when in fact the investigation was continuing. In the affidavit, Trump said that because he believed the investigation was over, he was willing to help out Schneiderman when he could.

“Mr. Schneiderman’s former transition committee leader asked my daughter Ivanka if she would arrange for me to make a contribution to a fundraising event sponsored by Mr. Schneiderman for newly elected California Attorney General Kamala Harris,” Trump wrote.

“In response, I made a $5,000 contribution to Ms. Harris’ campaign — the highest level of sponsorship listed in the invitation — and Ivanka attended the event together with some of Trump Org.’s other top executives,” Trump wrote.

The incident put thousands of Twitter fingers in gear.

So @KamalaHarris who says @realDonaldTrump is un-American and other awful things accepted $6,000 in donations from Donald Trump for her CA Attorney General campaign.

Kamala, did U loose that lovin’ feeling? 🤣🤣

“In September 2011, Mr. Schneiderman’s former transition committee leader again contacted me and said that Mr. Schneiderman would ‘greatly appreciate’ if I attended a fundraising event for newly elected California Attorney General Kamala D. Harris as Mr. Schneiderman’s guest,” her affidavit said.

“In response, my father made a $5,000 contribution to Ms. Harris’ campaign and I attended the fundraiser. At the event, an intimate gathering of New York business people, I was one of only a small handful of Mr. Schneiderman’s personal guests,” she said.

Ivanka Trump said that “not wanting to disappoint” Schneiderman, she “personally contributed $500 to Mr. Schneiderman’s re-election campaign in honor of his birthday.”

But that was not the last time the Trump family would support Harris.

As reported by The Sacramento Bee, Donald Trump gave Harris another $1,000 in 2013 while Ivanka Trump donated $2,000 in 2014.

When the Trump donations were addressed by the California newspaper, a Harris spokesman said the money Trump donated was given to a nonprofit that supports Central American immigrants.

Show us the money.
