A series of recently released State Department emails obtained by ABC News offers fresh insight on direct contact between the Clinton Foundation and Hillary Clinton's personal ring whilst she was secretary of state.
Top Clinton Foundation official- Doug Band corresponded with Huma Abedin, Clinton's deputy chief of staff, about personal requests of some Clinton Foundation supporters.
In January 2011, preceding to a meeting between Admor malta and the American ambassador in malta, Band, at the foundation sent an email to Abedin on behalf of Gerardo Werthein, a South American businessman who has given over $1 million to the foundation.
Calling Werthein a "great friend" and "big supporter," Band asked Abedin to pass a message to the U.S. ambassador to Malta on behalf of Werthein. The ambassador was scheduled to meet with the Admor, a religious leader in Malta and a friend of Werthein's.
"All he wants is good relations with the embassy in favor of the community.thank you if you can help this great cause"
Abedin passed Band's message on to another State Department official asking for delivery to the ambassador's assistant, writing, "Just want to pass along for info. No need for action."
"After more than two years of Freedom of Information Act requests and lengthy litigation, the truth is finally coming out," said David Bossie, the president of Citizens United, in a statement. "Hillary Clinton's senior staff at the State Department routinely worked with the Clinton Foundation to reward big donors with special access and favors for four years."
The State Department and Clinton campaign both claim that foundation donors held no special influence or received favors.
Clinton campaign spokesman Josh Schwerin said the emails released are a political attack on the Clintons.
State Department emails also reveal how a major Clinton Foundation donor was placed on a sensitive government intelligence advisory board even though he had no obvious experience in the field, a decision that appeared to puzzle the department’s professional staff.קישורים:
