Clinton reiterated that has a deep conviction about the work done by the Clinton Foundation, created by her husband in 2001, and which is under the spotlight due to allegations that the foundation had privileged access to the State Department when she headed the federal agency between 2009 and 2013. “We’re not going to let it happen to our country”.

“And that’s why the foundation has laid out additional unprecedented steps that it would take if I am elected”, she added.
Clinton did not address any of the accusations about her family foundation in her remarks.
