Clinton defends work of family foundation

Clinton has said she did not know the information was classified at the time.

Trump rejected Clinton’s allegations, defending his hard-line approach to immigration while making the case that she was trying to distract from questions swirling around donations to The Clinton Foundation and her use of her private email servers. She said the foundation’s charitable programs has been “in line with American interests and values” and must continue, perhaps through partnerships with other organizations. But he added: “Let me go a step further: they’ll pay back taxes, they have to pay taxes; there’s no amnesty, as such, there’s no amnesty, but we work with them”. In that speech, she accused Trump of unleashing a “radical fringe” within the Republican Party, including anti-Semites and white supremacists.

“She lies, she smears, she paints decent Americans as racists”, said Trump, who then defended some of the core – and to some people, divisive – ideas of his candidacy.

Trump, who also met Thursday in NY with members of a new Republican Party initiative meant to train young – and largely minority – volunteers, has been working to win over blacks and Latinos in light of his past inflammatory comments and has been claiming that the Democrats have taken minority voters’ support for granted.

But she is eager to list all the things Trump has said and done she considers biased or bigoted.

The Associated Press reported this week that more than half the people from outside government who met or spoke by telephone with Clinton in the first half of her term as secretary of state had given money – either personally or through companies or groups – to the foundation.

The announcement comes as a health project connected to the Clinton Foundation is exploring a number of changes to minimize potential conflicts of interest in the event of another Clinton White House but may continue to accept foreign government and corporate funding. She has contrasted Trump with former Republican presidential candidates John McCain and Bob Dole, and former President George W. Bush, praising their decisive steps to counter racism and anti-Muslim sentiment. “I believe my aides also acted appropriately”, she said.

Trump did his best to refute Clinton’s attacks on Thursday as he attempts to rescue his poll numbers in key swing states.

On Friday, he also continued his recent push to broaden his base of support among minority voters, convening a roundtable with Latino backers at his hotel in Las Vegas.

“They’ve been very disrespectful, as far as I’m concerned, to the African-American population in this country”, Trump said.
