He’s also pledged US$1 billion to the Clinton Global Initiative, an “organization that convenes global leaders to devise and implement innovative solutions to the world’s most pressing problems”, according to its website. He cut a deal and agreed to repay US$66 million to the Nigerian government. A new batch of State Department emails released Tuesday showed the close and sometimes overlapping interests between the Clinton Foundation and the State Department when Clinton served as secretary of state.

Judicial Watch released almost 300 pages of new emails Tuesday that show how the Democratic presidential nominee sold influence through the Clinton Foundation while Secretary of State. More specifically, Krauthammer believes examination of the now-famous deleted emails could evidence quid pro quo between donations to the foundation and favors done for those donors by Clinton in her capacity as secretary of state.
One heavily redacted email appeared to show Clinton Foundation official Doug Band discussing with Clinton aides a job for someone else in the State Department.
The emails are separate from a larger batch of several thousand work-related emails that Federal Bureau of Investigation officials recovered from Clinton’s private server.
“First Obama and Clinton colluded together to manipulate the FBI to ensure no criminal charges were filed against Secretary Clinton for her illegal email server, and this latest refusal to allow even a cursory investigation into the Clinton Foundation’s pay-for-play dealings smacks of political favoritism”, Jason Miller, senior communications advisor for Trump’s campaign, said.
“So, again, to reiterate, you know, Department officials are in touch with a wide range of individuals”, Trudeau replied. Abedin responded by pointing to Jeff Feltman, the eU.S. ambassador to the western Asian country at the time. “Although the Second Amendment folks, maybe there is, I don’t know”.
“I have never met nor spoken with Mr Chagoury”.
“No wonder Hillary Clinton and Huma Abedin hid emails from the American people, the courts and Congress”, he said in a press release.
Before becoming the head of the State Department, Clinton had promised to stop her work with the Clinton Foundation in a bid to ensure no “inappropriate relationships” existed.
The emails also raise questions about the Clinton Foundation and its donors’ reach within a potential Hillary Clinton presidency.
The campaign official, who was granted anonymity to speak freely about the issue, said the associate Band was hoping to find employment for was not a donor. They are concerning enough to have generated significant coverage in such Clinton-friendly newspapers as the Washington Post and The New York Times.
The Clinton campaign’s responses are so far unsatisfactory.
When Hillary Clinton became Secretary of State, Mills left the Board of the Clinton Foundation and became Clinton’s Chief of Staff.
But the news was buried in a cavalcade of bad news for Donald Trump: a prominent Republican Senator said she would not vote for Donald Trump, and 50 veteran Republican officials said Trump would put the nation’s security “at risk”.
Famed investigative reporter Bob Woodward, part of the team that exposed the 1972 Watergate scandal, said Democrats behind the scenes are nervous about the ongoing focus on Mrs. Clinton’s private email server.

According to different reports, the FBI had already considered several months ago to open a corruption investigation involving the Clinton Foundation.
