More than half of the non-governmental officials who met Hillary Clinton while she was secretary of state gave money to the charity, which was set up by Mr Clinton in 2001.

Republican nominee Donald Trump has called the Monday AP report proof of a “pay-for-play” scheme, accusing the Clintons of running a criminal enterprise.
Speaking at a MS rally, he said his opponent “sees people of colour only as votes not as human beings worthy of a better future”. “You all are not really that pathetic, are you?”
The report came after the Clinton campaign and the State Department had been arguing for days that Clinton gave no special treatment to foundation donors while she was secretary of state. “I want you to hear these words, and remember these words: Shame on you”. “He is taking a hate movement mainstream”. She noted that Clinton will say “Trump’s Republican Party is still too extreme for you”.
Clinton will hit Trump and his advisers in Reno for “embracing extremism and presenting a divisive and dystopian view of America”, a Clinton aide who previewed the speech told CNN on Tuesday. He has brought it into his campaign.
Rumors and innuendo long confined to the far reaches of the Internet are dominating the presidential race, forcing Clinton to grapple – once again – with the kinds of whispers that have dogged her family for decades. Trump was joined on stage by Nigel Farage, one of the leaders of the “Brexit” movement.
For his part, Trump has brushed off Clinton’s comments, attempting to counter by aggressively pitching his candidacy to minority voters by emphasizing his strong support for law enforcement.
The poll found 51 percent of likely voters in the US support Clinton while 41 percent said they support Trump.
“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. On the other hand, a quarter of Trump’s supporters actually support him compared to almost two-thirds who are voting for him mainly to oppose Clinton.

The exact moment when Donald Trump appeared to lose one of his own supporters at a MS campaign rally was captured in all its face-pulling and eye-rolling glory on Wednesday night. Her campaign has a page on its website devoted to a Q-and-A about Trump’s “bizarre relationship” with Russian Federation, fueling an unproven theory that Trump is a shill for Putin. But why wouldn’t you have her do a press conference today just to – you – you have a perception problem on the question of honesty and trustworthiness, why wouldn’t you put her out there to your traveling press corps who knows all the intricacies of sort of the defense you laid out, which is – which is legitimate? Trump has responded by saying it is Clinton, not he, who has close ties to Russian Federation.
