Bill Clinton defends work of Clinton Foundation

I have done that and believe it or not, I regret it, ” said Trump. “They’d give you a resounding no because of the good that it has done”. He told me that the CGEP has received money from corrupt officials in South Africa during the former regime of Jacob Zuma and from senior officials in Equatorial Guinea, one of the most brutal and crooked dictatorships in the world.

Clinton’s campaign said the AP analysis was flawed because it did not include in its calculations meetings with foreign diplomats or US government officials, and the meetings AP examined covered only the first half of Clinton’s tenure as secretary of state. However while she was secretary of State, the foundation continued to operate and receive millions of dollars from foreign governments, despite an ethics agreement with the Obama administration.

Bill Clinton said the foundation plans to continue its work, but intends to refocus its efforts in a process that will take up to a year to complete.

Clinton got some bad news from a federal judge Monday, who gave the State Department until September 23 to determine a plan on how to release almost 15,000 documents the FBI had obtained as part of its investigation into her private email server – possibly creating a timeline where thousands of emails could be made public right before Election Day.

But a copy of a newly obtained Clinton State Department schedule for March 14, 2012, provided to the Sun-Times by Citizens United, a conservative group, shows that Fernando had a five-minute appointment with Clinton, called a “private pull aside” in Clinton’s outer office.

While Hillary Clinton stepped down from its board after launching her 2016 campaign, her husband and daughter have remained in leadership roles, prompting questions about the ability of the organization to continue its work should Clinton win the White House. “If Hillary is elected, we will transition those programs out of the foundation to other organizations committed to continuing their work”, the former president said in a statement on Monday.

“Over 10 million people around the world get important AIDS medication, life-saving AIDS and HIV medication, because of the foundation”, Robby Mook said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union”.

“It’s time for Hillary Clinton to come clean about the Clinton Foundation”, Pence said at a rally in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. If Clinton is elected president, disbanding the foundation would be the best way to accomplish that. “The Clinton Foundation was taking no money for the Clintons, raising money from rich people and giving it to poor people”.

On Aug. 12, he boiled down the Democratic nominee’s entire email controversy to a couple of emails with classification markings that he said were of no threat to national security and claimed Comey had said Hillary did not receive any emails “marked classified”.

The prominent Democratic strategist added that in the past, he didn’t criticize Republican leaders for perceived conflicts of interest.

After she left the State Department, the foundation resumed accepting donations from overseas.

In 2014, this group “accounted for 66 percent of spending by the Clinton network of charities”, the Globe reported.

Bill Clinton has also decided not to give paid speeches if Hillary Clinton is elected president, his spokesman, Angel Urena, said Thursday. Gilbert Chagoury has donated more than $1 million to the Clinton Foundation, according to the foundation’s website, which also notes that The Chagoury Group – run by the brothers – pledged to commit $1 billion to fight coastal erosion. Politico reported past year that former President George W. Bush made between $100,000 and $175,000 for each of his more than 200 speeches since leaving office in 2009.

Bill Clinton said that much of the foundation’s worldwide activities would be transitioned to other organizations to continue that type of work.

Voters are about as wary about The Clinton Foundation taking money from citizens in other countries (34 percent), as they are about it taking money from USA companies (35 percent).
