Court files shed light on Kamala’s awkward donation from Donald Trump
|
 [FOXNEWS] Sen. Kámala Harris
Former Oakland mayor Willie Brown's former mistress, now a senatrix from California and 2020 Dem presidential hopeful, indistinguishable from the others...
has a long record of political stances from her prosecutor days that don’t quite square with her current national profile as a liberal champion ‐ but one of the most awkward items from her past may be her acceptance of a $5,000 donation from Donald Trump
...The tack in the backside of the Democratic Party...
nearly a decade ago.
Continued from Page 6
Now, court records reviewed by Fox News have provided additional details about the circumstances surrounding the contribution from the man she wants to unseat in 2020 and whose policies she now calls "vile."
According to sworn affidavits signed by Trump and his daughter Ivanka, disgraced former New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman was behind the hefty contribution to Harris’ re-election campaign for Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party, attorney general.
The affidavit was part of an ethics complaint against Schneiderman filed on Dec. 2, 2013, by Trump, who claimed the top prosecutor had given him the impression that his investigation into Trump University was over when it was not.
Trump argued in his sworn statement that given Schneiderman’s "persistent, unsolicited and unqualified reassurances that the investigation would never eventuate in a lawsuit, and my sincere belief that there was no wrongdoing on the part of [Trump University], I did not perceive any issue with trying to assist Mr. Schneiderman whenever I or other Trump Org. executives were able."
He described one such case: the donation for Harris that a Schneiderman aide purportedly solicited and Ivanka helped arrange.
"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."
The 2011 donation is one of several Trump made to now-Democratic candidates for president that could cause lingering headaches for their campaigns -- especially considering Trump likes to remind voters of the past financial help and favors he offered to figures who now fiercely criticize him.
Trump donated to Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand
 ...Machine non-entity selected to become the successor to Hillary Clinton as Senatrix-for-Life from Noo Yawk. She is running for the Dem presidential nomination in 2020. She has no observable principles, will apparently say anything to anyone, and seemingly lacks any personality of her own....
twice -- $1,050 in December 2007 and $2,400 in September 2010. And Trump donated $1,000 to then-Sen. Joe Foreign Policy Whiz Kid Biden
...Old, boring, a plagiarist, fond of hair sniffing and grabbing the protruding parts of women, and not whatcha call brilliant. ...
in December 2001.
But the Trumps donated to Harris' attorney general re-election campaign three times. Aside from the $5,000 donation in 2011, Trump donated $1,000 on Feb. 20, 2013, and Ivanka Trump donated $2,000 on June 3, 2014. The Sacramento Bee and other publications reported on those donations earlier this year, but the affidavits provide more context for the transactions.
Those donations also could prove distinctly awkward for a candidate who lately has assailed Trump for his comments suggesting Rep. Ilhan Omar
...Somali-American Dem representative from Minnesota. She is apparently married to her brother and may be her own grandmaw on her mother's side...
, D-Minn., and other minority congresswomen "go back" where they came from, fix things and return to show how it's done.
Harris slammed Trump’s comments as "vile," "ignorant," "shallow" and "hateful."
But Harris did not publicly condemn Trump in 2011‐when he was pushing "birther" conspiracy theories about former President Barack Obama
I inhaled. That was the point ...
. A spokesperson for the Harris campaign told The Sacramento Bee in March that Harris donated the $6,000 she received from Trump to a nonprofit that focuses on the rights of Central Americans but did not do so until 2015‐one year after she won her re-election campaign.
It is unclear at this point if Harris ever returned or donated the $2,000 contribution from Ivanka Trump.
Asked Wednesday for any further comment on the donation, a front man told Fox News: "All Trump's money was donated to an immigrants colonists' rights charity."
The main 2011 fundraising event was held on Sept. 22 of that year at law firm SNR Denton’s headquarters in Midtown Manhattan. The invitation, seen by Fox News, showed tiers of donations: $1,000 to be considered a "Donor," $2,500 to be considered a "Sponsor," and $5,000 to be considered a "Host." According to the invitation, Schneiderman was the "Special Guest Speaker."
A copy of Trump’s check, also obtained by Fox News, shows the check dated Sept. 13, 2011; it was stamped on Sept. 26, 2011. The check, for $5,0000, was signed by Trump and made out to the order of: "RE-ELECT ATTORNEY GENERAL KAMALA D HARRIS 2014."
