In an interview with CNN, Senator Sessions, who is a Donald Trump supporter, suggested Clinton used her position to possibly “extort” money from global governments for her family’s foundation.

This may not have been illegal but the fact that 55% of Clinton’s meetings and calls with private interests were with major Clinton Foundation donors does more than fuel “perceptions”. Less than a month later, the two women met with Clinton for a half-hour. “Not shocking, but it is disappointing that there were such blurred lines between State Department officials and outsiders”.
“Hillary Clinton is in hiding because she doesn’t want to face voters or even the press”, Trump campaign spokesman Jason Miller said Tuesday.
On Monday, Bill Clinton released a statement, claiming that the charity will continue its work, although changes “would be necessary”.
Last week, the Clinton Foundation moved to head off ethics concerns about future donations by announcing changes planned if Clinton is elected.
Clinton stepped down from the Foundation’s board in April 2015 when she chose to run for USA president.
But the root of the conspiracy theories lies in 2012, when Clinton was nearing the end of her stint as secretary of state and a stomach virus and dehydration prompted her to faint, causing what her doctor said was a concussion.
The poll found that 65 per cent of registered voters polled said race relations are getting worse in the country, and only 10 per cent hold the opposite opinion.
The comments marked the first time Clinton has addressed debunked rumors about her health, which have been encouraged by Trump and his backers.
When Clinton took up the post in 2009, she chose to use a private email server set up in her home.
According to the Republicans, the subpoenas aim is to “obtain the information necessary to answer questions about the structure and security of the e-mail system”. The judge ruled on Monday that those emails must be reviewed and many likely released.
“This is among the strongest and most unmistakable pieces of evidence of what we’ve long suspected: at Hillary Clinton’s State Department, access to the most sensitive policy makers in USA diplomacy was for sale to the highest bidder”, RNC Chairman Reince Priebus said in a statement.
The US has full diplomatic relations with Bahrain and a meeting between the Secretary of State and a member of its royal family would not be unusual. Her calendars and emails released as recently as this week describe scores of contacts she and her top aides had with foundation donors. The conservative group said the documents include e-mail exchanges not previously turned over to the State Department. An appointment with Clinton and the prince later was arranged through the State Department. However, this infuriated Lauren Burke, a Judicial Watch lawyer. The Justice Department in 2009 moved to seize the organization’s property, alleging that Alavi violated USA sanctions against Iran.

Clinton, whose campaign has been dogged by controversies surrounding her use of a private email server as secretary of state, told host Jimmy Kimmel that she’s not anxious about the upcoming release of more of her State Department emails.
