In May 2015, Bill Clinton reportedly had a phone conversation with Donald Trump, encouraging his efforts to become more influential within the Republican Party. This exchange took place weeks before Trump announced his campaign for president. The Washington Post reports that Clinton sounded curious about Trump's potential presidential bid and offered his own views of the political landscape at the time. However, he never directly urged Trump to run for office. The Clintons have long had ties with the real-estate magnate, including attending his wedding in 2005 and accepting donations for past Senate campaigns.
