After being called a “bigot” by her White House rival earlier in the week, Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton refused to directly return the insult when prompted in an interview today, instead reiterating her charge that Republican nominee Donald Trump is a man with a “long history of racial discrimination” and all she can do is “point to the evidence of what he has said and what he has done”.

The former secretary of state continued: “As we have said before, neither my husband, my daughter, nor I have ever taken a penny of salary from the foundation”.
At the same time, Hillary Clinton said, “winding down some of these programs takes time” and that to do anything abrupt could imperil HIV/AIDS programs and other assistance that benefits millions of people around the world. “You don’t just turn on and off a switch”.
Mr. Bannon, she said, told her that “if I went to court he and his attorney would make sure that I would be the one who was guilty”.
The State Department now says it doesn’t expect to publicly produce all the detailed daily schedules showing meetings by Clinton covering her time as secretary of state before Election Day.
“Hillary is simply unhinged and appealing to the lowest common denominator”, Rickers said of Clinton’s speech. I made policy decisions to keep Americans safe.
Clinton also responded to what she called a “fair question” from host Joe Scarborough as to why the Clintons are not transferring the foundation’s work to other nonprofits to ensure there’s no potential for conflict of interest if Clinton were elected. “I believe my aides also acted appropriately”, she said. Hillary Clinton said today she was certain no revelations from emails or foreign entities’ ties to her husband’s charitable foundation will derail her bid for the U.S. presidency.
Trump rejected Clinton’s allegations, defending his hard-line approach to immigration while making the case that she was trying to distract from questions swirling around donations to The Clinton Foundation and her use of her private email servers.
Former President Bill Clinton, who helped establish the global charity after serving two terms in the White House, would resign from the board if his wife wins the November 8 election, the foundation announced last week.

“To Hillary Clinton, and to her donors and advisers, pushing her to spread her smears and her lies about decent people, I have three words”, he said.
