Clinton charity to limit donations if Hillary Clinton wins

On Thursday, the Clinton Foundation announced that donations from foreign entities or corporations would no longer be accepted if Hillary Clinton is elected president.

The Clintons have been making some preparations for the big shift that her possible presidency entails: In 2013, after Hillary Clinton stepped down as Secretary of State, the Clinton Foundation embarked on a massive fundraising endeavour aimed at creating a $250 million endowment.

Mook pointed out that when President George W. Bush came into office, “you never heard people asking questions about his family’s foundation, which was a very similar situation, and members of his family remained on the board of his foundation while he remained president”. “They receive a great deal of funding through these streams”.

A spokesman for Clinton’s campaign declined to answer questions about the foundation. He sought to explain why the organization believes this move is necessary if Clinton were elected president – but not before then, or during her time as secretary of state. Recently, Trump had warned that the November election could be “rigged”.

“There’s all this scrutiny because Hillary Clinton has been transparent”.

“I just got off the phone with Governor John Bel Edwards of Louisiana”, Mook said in the email displayed. “They’re so boring. So we’ve already released, I don’t know, 30,000 plus, so what’s a few more?”.

Founded by Bill Clinton in 1997, the foundation has grown into a $2 billion enterprise that funds health-care, education and environmental initiatives around the world.

The ex-president’s United Kingdom charity is a directly controlled offshoot of the Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton Foundation. Foundation employees have been informed that the former President will step down from the board, and the Foundation would stop accepting money from foreign and corporate sources.

As Trump’s campaign stumbles in the polls, he has reshuffled his staff and brought on new advisors willing to let him return to the unbridled style that won him the Republican nomination in the first place.

“They’re low-class grifters and gifters at every turn, whether it’s the money they make giving speeches, whether it’s the pay-for-play at the State Department“, Trump campaign manager Kellyanne Conway said.

Soon after, Hillary Clinton agreed to keep foundation matters separate from official business, including a pledge to “not participate personally and substantially in any particular matter that has a direct and predictable effect upon” the foundation without a waiver. Mook described the exchange as the counselor, Doug Band, trying to follow appropriate protocols to “provide some insight”.

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

The Clintons have denied that any financial donations to their family foundation prompted official action by the State Department.
