Florida Republican Sen. Rick Scott said Monday he donated two campaign contributions from Igor Fruman, a South Florida businessman who was arrested on campaign finance charges with his partner Lev Parnas five days ago.
The Miami Herald reached out to Scott on Thursday, Friday and Monday for comment on what he planned to do with a $5,400 contribution from Fruman to his campaign and a $15,000 contribution from Fruman to the Rick Scott Victory Fund.
A spokesperson for Scott said Monday that he donated the contributions to the Shriners Hospital.
