A growing number of Floridians have come forward this year saying they lost money or were dissatisfied with the for-profit, unaccredited Trump University, which closed in 2010, But Bondi said that at the time of the contribution, her office had only fielded one complaint -- and that did not lead to an investigation.

That lawsuit and a separate federal class-action civil lawsuit in California alleged that Trump University -- which was largely owned by Trump himself -- defrauded consumers by as much as $35,000 each with promises of a real estate investing education that they either did not receive or found to be worthless.

According to The Associated Press, Trump’s attorneys on Thursday agreed to enter settlement talks in the class-action fraud lawsuit, raising the possibility of a quick end to the six-and-a-half-year-old case just before it goes to trial.
