Trump Calls For Shutdown Of Clinton Foundation

Bill Clinton sought to tamp down the controversy, announcing last week that – if his wife is elected president in November – he would no longer accept foreign or corporate donations, and would step away from the board of the foundation. Three United States Attorneys are investigating charges that Hillary Clinton sold her office as secretary of state for contributions to the Clinton Foundation. Mook suggested that the foundation’s ongoing work would require a slower effort to cut foreign ties, although he tried to change the subject after being pressed on the point by Bash.

In reality, Comey said she had been “extremely careless” with classified material and that 110 emails on her server bore classified material at the time they were sent and received. “They receive a great deal of funding through these streams”.

“They took money from money launderers, criminals, dictators, people who abuse women as a matter of government policy”. At a CNN town hall in June, she told Anderson Cooper, “We’ll cross that bridge if and when we come to it”.

Mook then pulled off a pivot of his own, changing direction into an attack on Trump’s coziness with Putin, which has become a major story throughout both his primary and general election campaigns. Democrats, like Bill Clinton, have cherry-picked Comey’s comments from the five-hour hearing to declare Hillary Clinton vindicated.

“Although if you look at the most recent polls I think things are turning”. “We have to be very firm”.

“The request came through president Clinton’s personal office and this was someone who had been a friend of the Clinton’s for a long time before the foundation was ever set up”, he added. And the foundation will be renamed, from the Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton Foundation to simply the Clinton Foundation.

And the foundation seems to be working to counterbalance that seriously. Another 21 percent said they were bothered a little by it.

Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani said twice over the past two days that he believes Hillary Clinton is “sick” and the media is covering it up. Trump campaign spokesperson Katrina Pierson took it upon herself to diagnose Clinton with “dysphasia”, a brain impairment.

U.S. Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton holds a rally at John Marshall High School in Cleveland, Ohio on August 17.

In the meeting Thursday, Clinton also said he would resign from the foundation’s board and that the group’s next Global Initiative meeting in NY would be its last, regardless of the election outcome. Mook described the exchange as the counselor, Doug Band, trying to follow appropriate protocols to “provide some insight”.

Mr. Mook also addressed a federal judge’s ruling on August 19 that a conservative government transparency group can seek written answers from Ms. Clinton about her use of a private e-mail server, saying the candidate would “get to work right away on getting those questions answered”.
