The charity has raised some $2 billion since it was founded in 2001 after Bill Clinton stepped down as president and disburses funds domestically and overseas, handing out some $218 million in 2014. It is now clear that the Clinton Foundation is the most corrupt enterprise in political history.
Now you tell me she looks presidential, folks, he said at a recent rally in New Hampshire. Democratic rival US Senator Bernie Sanders did not attack her on that front during the primary campaign.
Hillary Clinton has been hit hard by the Associated Press.
The focus on the foundation is likely to build some confidence among Republicans that Trump’s campaign is healing internal divisions.
JOHN HEILEMANN: It’s a huge new target for the Trump campaign to dive on top of and a huge new bunch of targets to have to defend. Campaign chairman Paul Manafort resigned.
“This is a very fertile ground if he wants to dig himself out of this deep hole”, O’Connell said of Trump.
After stipulating that the Clinton situation is “pay-for-play”, O’Reilly noted that Hillary’s foundation spent $21 million on traveling alone – eight percent of the total receipts.
“This is not good news for Hillary Clinton”.
Trump abandoned plans to deliver a policy speech tomorrow about immigration, hoping not to distract from the Clinton Foundation criticism that has dominated cable news coverage. Again, many of them might have received appointments even had they not contributed.
The foundation has always been a liability for Clinton.
As if these developments weren’t problematical enough, former Secretary of State Colin Powell last weekend denied Clinton’s claim that he advised her to use a private server, as he had done, saying, “Her people are trying to pin it on me”.
Last week, the Clinton Foundation moved to head off ethics concerns about future donations by announcing changes planned if she is elected. Abedin noted in a subsequent email that the gathering would be hosted in Clinton’s home.
“Words like “favor” and “take care of” shouldn’t be in State Department emails”, Meyers said. Meanwhile, the FBI has turned over about 15,000 other emails and documents to State that were discovered during the agency’s investigation of Clinton’s private server.
The AP’s findings represent the first systematic effort to calculate the scope of the intersecting interests of Clinton foundation donors and people who met personally with Clinton or spoke to her by phone about their needs.
“‘Hillary Clinton: Hobbled and hiding it?’ I asked the other, who agreed that ‘until she permits a thorough examination of her feet – and I mean both of them – how can we be sure?'” The department has publicly released most of those emails, although some have been withheld because they contain information considered sensitive to national security.

Trump on Monday called for the Justice Department to appoint a special prosecutor to probe Clinton, her e-mails and ties between the Clinton Foundation and the State Department during her tenure there. But they are hopeful Trump is too late in making it an issue to make a difference.
