Bill Clinton Defends his foundation's foregin money (Juliana Cortez Pd.3)
In an interview with NB News' Cything McFadden, Clinton stated that his charity has done nothing inappropriate. He opens up saying that he ha no regrets in his decision to take millions of foreign cash in order to support his foundation. The foundation recently announced that it would only accept contributions from six Western governments. The program has been successful raising over $100 billion worth of stuff that helped 43 million people in 180 countries. Since the programs help, there has been 94 percent of kids graduating with 98 percent of that kids going to college. The program is involved in several different projects; Clinton talked about the good things, such as the "Wings to Fly" program that has helped 10,000 poor kids in Kenya attend high school. Although it is clear that the foreign money is being used to benefit others, some still believe that it is being put towards foreign policies.

Really interesting, he wouldn't be the first one to corrupt a charity but i don't think he would have done this with because it could hurt Hillary's campaign.
