Benghazi emails involving Clinton recovered by FBI
“None of the Clintons have ever taken a salary and don’t profit from the foundation”, Craig Minassian, the Clinton Foundation’s chief communications officer, told MSNBC.
“They are going to come back with a clearer proposal for what they want and I told them hrc role at cgi hadn’t even been discussed yet which happens to be true”, Abedin responded to Hughes.
Almost two weeks later, Band followed up specifically about Rodin, emailing Abedin: “Can we get her at Biden’s table?”
Clinton has previously maintained that the only server emails that were not handed over to the State Department were related to personal matters not having to do with her professional duties. “Here’s the bottom line: Serving as secretary of state while your husband raises millions of dollars for a charitable foundation that is also a vehicle for your family’s political ambitions really does create a lot of space for potential conflicts of interest”, writes Matthew Ygelsis.
The Clinton campaign, which had expressed concern about selective leaks from the notes, welcomed the release.
A representative for McCann told ABC News he did not attend the lunch, while a representative for Ersek said he doesn’t have a “record” of the event.
In an email dated September 16, 2009, Abedin was forwarded an email chain about how campaign donor Geri Shapiro first accepted an invitation to an event, but then declined when she discovered that her husband was not allowed to attend.
Several media outlets, including Reuters, have made FOIA requests for a summary of the interview. “Citizens United is a right-wing group that’s been attacking the Clintons since the 1990s and, once again, is trying to make something out of nothing”.
Up to 15,000 “missing” emails have been discovered of which roughly 30 pertain to the debacle at Benghazi that ended in the deaths of four Americans, including the US ambassador to Libya, Chris Stevens.
The State Department suggested Abedin did nothing wrong saying that just because the materials were destined for a “burn bag”, doesn’t mean they were classified.
Blitzer showed a clip of Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump’s new ad accusing Clinton of “lying” about her private emails server.
One particular email chain dated December 2010 includes correspondence between Clinton’s closest aide, Huma Abedin, and then-top Clinton Foundation official Doug Band.
The Clinton Foundation has thus far restricted certain foreign contributions during Clinton’s presidential bid while promising to eliminate all foreign contributions if Clinton were to win the White House.
At the center of this latest in a string of Clinton controversies is the Clinton Foundation, a philanthropic organization founded by Hillary Clinton and her husband, former President Bill Clinton.
Central to fighting the “untrustworthy” label she’s often marked with is Hillary Clinton’s need to quell conversations about her use of the private e-mail server that she used while serving as Secretary of State.
Donna Brazile, the interim head of the Democratic National Committee, said it’s not unusual for supporters and activists to seek out private meetings and that there’s no evidence Clinton did any favors on behalf of foundation donors.
