According to Federal Election Commission filings, the lead lawyer defending the presumed GOP presidential nominee in the Trump University fraud lawsuits donated to Hillary Clinton after joining Donald Trump’s legal team. Daniel Petrocelli contributed $2,700—the federally mandated maximum—to the presumptive Democratic nominee’s campaign. Trump has previously attacked the legitimacy of the case, asserting that the plaintiffs’ law firm gave money to the Clintons and that the judge’s Mexican-American heritage was a “conflict of interest.”
