State Dept Denies Clinton Foundation Donors Had ‘Preferential Treatment’ After AP Report

They’re just divided on whether it’s more of a curse than a blessing.

Hillary Clinton slammed Donald Trump and issued a strong defense of the Clinton Foundation Wednesday amid the Republican nominee’s claims that she used public office for personal gain. “Israel had Golda Meir and Britain had the Iron Lady (Margaret Thatcher)”.

“That’s why more than half of the donations came from these foreign oligarchs, and that’s why it’s vitally important for people to realize this is not your typical pay to play, money in politics story”.

At a campaign rally in Jackson, Mississippi, Wednesday night, Trump insisted any immigration policy pass three broad tests: It must improve jobs and wages for United States citizens; must improve citizens’ safety and security; and improve citizens’ quality of life.

The call from two leading USA news organizations came as Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump and other members of his party have taken to calling for a special prosecutor to investigate what they say is corruption.

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has alleged that the eight years of Obama-Clinton policies have sacrificed American safety and undermined its freedom and independence.

Kristy Campbell, a spokeswoman for Bush, said in a statement Wednesday it was “unsurprising that Donald Trump is finally faced with reconciling his immigration policy with reality, something Governor Bush predicted previous year”.

Most Americans think women are tough enough to handle the challenges facing a president, but the poll shows that some remain unconvinced.

The Republican Party and conservatives in general have been tying themselves in knots trying to figure out how to handle Trump and some of his more inflammatory statements and policies.

The likelihood of either of them winning the presidency is unbelievably slim.

Pushing back, Clinton spokesman Brian Fallon said the AP report relied on “pretty flawed methodology” and said in an interview with MSNBC on Wednesday that Clinton was being held to a different standard than other politicians with charitable work.

“I think she should not joke about this”.

“What Hillary needs to do is say: ‘I realize there are conflicts with the Clinton Foundation”. “It all depends on the person”.

The former secretary of state addressed questions about her use of a private server only in passing this week, joking with late night talk show Jimmy Kimmel on Monday that, “My emails are so boring”, she said.

For most candidates press conferences can be a plus, but in Hillary’s case, as Robby Mook is painfully aware, they are a huge liability and something to be avoided at all costs. All that is going to do is make it easier for Trump. I don’t believe for a second that she will have the answers that Americans deserve to hear for the problems she created.

“Hillary Clinton is going to try to accuse this campaign, and the millions of decent Americans who support this campaign, of being racists”, Trump said.

The AP said the 154 people did not include USA federal employees or foreign government representatives “because such meetings would presumably have been part of her diplomatic duties”.
