Report claims DOJ probe of Clinton Foundation, emails ongoing

Clinton’s presidential campaign re-iterated that Mills was working as a volunteer on the trip.

Those emails became the subject of a long-running investigation over whether she mishandled classified information on the emails that ran through an unsecured private email server she used as secretary of state rather than a more secure government email server.

In a hearing last month on Capitol Hill, FBI Director James Comey declined to say whether the Clinton Foundation was under investigation, saying “I’m not going to comment on the existence or non-existence of any investigation”.

The aide, Doug Band, who played a role in expanding the foundation’s reach, wrote to Hillary Clinton’s State Department staff requesting a meeting for a wealthy Nigerian businessman of Lebanese descent who has given the Clinton Foundation $1 million to $5 million in donations, according to disclosure reports. Another email showed Band had tried to connect major donor Gilbert Chagoury with the USA ambassador to Lebanon. In the email Band says Chagoury is a “key guy there [Lebanon] and to us”.

Abedin responded that she would talk to the recent US ambassador to Lebanon, Jeffrey Feltman, who was then serving as acting assistant secretary of state for Near Eastern Affairs. ‘I’m sure he know him. “I’ll talk to Jeff”, she wrote. He has never met or had any contact with Ambassador Feltman.

“No wonder Hillary Clinton and Huma Abedin hid emails from the American people, the courts and Congress”, Judicial Watch President Tom Filton said in a press release. Bernie Sanders goofed by dismissing Clinton’s possible ethics issues: “the American people are sick and exhausted of hearing about your damn e-mails”, Sanders famously said at the first Democratic debate.

Upon entering office as secretary of state, Hillary Clinton and the Clinton Foundation agreed to a set of rules to ensure any activities by the foundation would not “create conflicts or the appearance of conflicts for Senator Clinton as Secretary of State”.

‘Neither of these emails involve the secretary or relate to the Foundation’s work, ‘ said Clinton campaign spokesman Josh Schwerin in an emailed statement to the network.

State Department spokeswoman Elizabeth Trudeau said she could not “speak to specific cases”, but said, “It’s not unusual for candidates to be recommended to the department through a variety of avenues”.

Polls show Clinton leading Trump in all-important Virginia.

“If it’s true, it’s illegal”, Trump said. More than 10 million dollars.

‘Once again, the Department of Justice has protected Hillary Clinton.

Filton also said that there were 44 emails hidden on objective.

That didn’t stop Clinton’s rival Donald Trump, who’s dealing with his own controversy after suggesting the “Second Amendment” would be one way to handle Clinton and her judicial picks, from making use of the emails’ revelations and CNN’s reporting that the Justice Department had declined to investigate the Clinton Foundation.

“As I recall, these discussions involved whether this event might affect Secretary Clinton’s email”, Mills said in follow-up answers to an earlier deposition given to Judicial Watch. The Justice Department had looked into whether it should open a case on the foundation a year prior and found it didn’t have sufficient evidence to do so. It is noted that for a conflict of interest and public corruption case to exist, the Federal Bureau of Investigation and DOJ would need to prove that a government employee received money or other items of value in exchange for working with the organization.

Hillary Clinton, the Democratic presidential nominee, greets members of the staff as she tours the Borinquen Health Care Center in Miami on Tuesday. “The idea that this poses a conflict of interest is absurd”.

These new conversations shed light on how intertwined Clinton’s State Department was with her family foundation.
