Host of first Jeb Bush 2016 fundraiser tied to Florida pay-to-play lawsuit

Charles Davis was the vice chairman of Marsh and McLennan Companies during much of the time that Florida officials accused the company of taking kickbacks and rigging bids.

Now the Democrats who uncovered the company’s legal troubles are using them to question Bush’s judgment at time when he’s beginning to look more and more like a presidential candidate.

The company settled the lawsuit with Florida and eight other states for $7 million in 2008.
