PRESIDENTIAL RACE | Clinton swats down health accusations

“A Trump administration will end the government corruption”, he said.

Asked recently whether he wanted to see Mrs. Clinton’s medical records, Mr. Trump actually demurred. “My campaign is powered by my own money, but also by small dollar donations from working people across this country who want their country back”, he said.

Trump supporter Sen. Jeff Sessions suggested that the Democratic presidential candidate used her high position to “extort” from global governments for her family’s foundation.

The Clinton Foundation disburses funds domestically and overseas, handing out some $218 million in 2014.

The former president also announced Monday that he will no longer raise money for the foundation should his wife in the event of a Clinton win in November.

The Post is reporting that the FBI found approximately 15,000 previously undisclosed emails and documents, and “a federal judge on Monday pressed the State Department to begin releasing emails sooner than mid-October as it planned”.

Since its 1997 founding by Bill Clinton, the Foundation has expanded to a $2 billion charity funding healthcare, education and environmental initiatives around the world, but critics have claimed that it provided corporations and foreign interests with the chance to gain favour and influence with the Secretary of State, who many have expected might one day become president.

New emails obtained by conservative watchdog group Judicial Watch and released Monday show then-Clinton Foundation executive Doug Band asking top Hillary Clinton aide Huma Abedin to arrange a meeting with the then-secretary of state for the Crown Prince of Bahrain, Sheikh Salman bin Hamad al-Khalifa.

The FBI declined to recommend Hillary Clinton for criminal charges in the email case and the Justice Department agreed.

“Precisely what she said she would not do at her confirmation hearing”, Ross said. They were not included in the batch of emails that Clinton’s attorneys determined were work-related and turned over to the State Department in 2014.

Clinton said that it “absolutely makes no sense” to spread the rumors about her health.

“Much of the foundation’s worldwide work, like that of most global NGOs, is funded in part by donor governments’ bilateral aid programs. If Hillary is elected, we will transition those programs out of the foundation to other organizations committed to continuing their work”, Bill Clinton said.

“Hillary Clinton’s campaign is funded by Wall Street and hedge fund managers”.

“The Foundation negotiated drugs prices to lower Malaria drugs by 89 percent”, Carville said.

If the Clintons wanted to be transparent, they would stop the Clinton Foundation from taking foreign donations immediately.

Trump repeated one of the more serious allegations of abuse of power involving Clinton and the family foundation. Those changes were the result of months of internal study, Clinton said.

Trump called the foundation “the most corrupt enterprise in political history” and continued his call to shut it down, calling for a special prosecutor to investigate Clinton’s time at the State Department.
