Today’s Washington Examiner<\/a> posted a story about a Congressional<\/a> request for the documents related to ethics office discussions with the Clinton Foundation<\/a> and both Clintons about speech fee disclosures made since Dec. 2008, when Clinton struck a deal with the White House<\/a> just before becoming secretary of state. The article explains that the deal imposed stricter reporting requirements on Bill Clinton<\/a> and the family’s foundation given Hillary Clinton’s impending position as the nation’s chief diplomat.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

Rep. Jason Chaffetz<\/a> pressed<\/a> the Office of Government Ethics<\/a> last week for an explanation of its decision to exempt Clinton from laws compelling public officials to disclose all forms of income.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Earlier this year, press reports indicated that former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and her husband failed to disclose millions of dollars in paid speeches over the past thirteen years under the belief they did not have a duty to report that because the speeches were delivered on behalf of the Clinton Foundation, and not in the Secretary’s or the President’s<\/a> personal capacity,” Chaffetz wrote.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Utah Republican cited “at least five speeches” for which Clinton routed her speaking fee to the philanthropy between 2014 and 2015. She did not list that income on her disclosure form as the law typically requires.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Bill and Hillary Clinton have amassed a tremendous amount of money since leaving the White House. A lot of that money has been channeled through the Clinton Foundation, which the Charity Navigator<\/a> refused to rate because its \u201catypical business model .\u2009.\u2009. doesn\u2019t meet our criteria.\u201d The Federalist<\/a> posted an article in April pointing out that the Clinton Foundation actually spends approximately 10 percent of its donations on charity.<\/p>\n

It is time to examine closely the Clinton Foundation and the Clintons’ sources of income. Hopefully, Congress will not be blocked in this investigation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
