‘Chelsea got to decide what she’s going to do’

CLINTON: "Well we all know people. But, you know, when they made that conduit argument, the State Department said that there was nothing to it, the career people at the State Department. And I think it's quite different if you have the -- foundation is operating in America taking no corporate contributions, only individual contributions, and disclosing them every three months, as we do now and confining ourselves basically to health and education and service work. We are doing some -- we got to finish some of our projects. Our foundation has the largest pro -- infrastructure program in the country where we got -- we've public employee unions putting in $16 billion to promote building and other things that are part of the LaGuardia Airport improvement, and in the first $12.5 billion that they've spent, more than 100,000 jobs have been created. I kind of think people don't want to stop that. There's not any kind of conflict between the public interest and that, but we do -- we are going to give up -- I'm going to get off the board. We're going to give up corporate contributions and the individual contributions will be reported on a regular basis. And Chelsea got to decide what she's going to do."
