the way he donated to supporters of attorney general pam bondi. (wally the chair of the state democratic party says trump violated state law in 20-13. the trump foundation gave 25-thousand dollars to a group called "and justice for all".. which promoted bondi's re-election campaign. but that donation violated federal tax law because charities cannot contribute to political causes. so earlier this year, trump personally reimbursed his committee. the complaint claims that reimbursment is a of a state law. we asked our political editor craig patrick if this will have any real impact on the trump campaign:

the complaint doesn't go into the ?relationship between trump and bondi instead, it focuses on how campaign money moved around.

((walter the city of tampa is keeping its red light cameras... for now. the city council passed an agreement thursday, on a new contract with "american traffic solutions." that will keep the cameras up and intersections, for another two years. supporters say: the cameras make intesections ?safer... but critics argue: it's more about ?money... calling the cameas a source of ?revenue for the city.

really small experience... having students actively include each other is huge. and the research backs it up... researchers say when ?students take a stand against bullying... rather than teachers-- it is much more effective. it's now 5:??. time to check the forecast with dave. it is 5:??: time now to find out what's happening
