Bill Clinton Admits: ‘Maybe’ Some Donated Money to Influence State Dept.
‘Maybe some of them gave money for that reason [to gain influence], but most of them gave it because they liked what we were doing’
Bill Clinton admits: 'Maybe' some donated money to influence State Dept. (The Washington Examiner)
Bill Clinton on Sunday acknowledged that some of the donors to the Clinton Foundation likely made those donations in order to influence foreign policy, when Hillary Clinton led the State Department.
But in a Sunday interview with NPR, Clinton insisted that the donations never influenced policy.
"Well, since we had more 300,000 donors, it would be unusual if nobody did," Clinton said when asked if some of the donors might have been trying to ingratiate themselves with the Clintons. But he added, "The names I saw in the paper, none of them surprised me and all of them could have gotten their own meeting with Hillary."
