Trump blatantly lied in tonight's debate about his attempt to build a casino in Florida
"The one guy that had some special interests that I know of that tried to get me to change my views and was generous and gave me money was Donald Trump," Bush said. "He wanted casino gambling in Florida."
"I didn't. Totally false," Trump protested. "I promise I would've gotten it."
"You wanted it and you didn't get it because I was opposed to casino gambling before, during, and after," Bush continued, talking over Trump. "I'm not going to be bought by anybody."
"I promise, if I wanted it, I would've gotten it," Trump repeated. "I know my people."
But it appears Bush was telling the truth.
CNN reported earlier this month that Trump hosted a $500-per-person fundraiser for Bush when he was running for governor in 1997, in addition to donating $50,000 to the Florida Republican Party. Legal filings
obtained by Bloomberg Business also showed that Trump had explored expanding his casino business to Florida but abandoned those plans shortly after Bush's election.
