GOP PAC: Clinton Foundation Should Return Its Millions in Foreign Money

 The Clinton Foundation has come under criticism from Republicans over its decision to once again accept contributions from foreign governments, Politico reported.

The Manhattan-based foundation, formally named the Bill, Hillary & Chelsea Clinton Foundation, stopped taking money from foreign governments in 2009 when former first lady Hillary Clinton joined the Obama administration as secretary of state.

After she left the Foggy Bottom in 2013,  the foundation dropped the ban.

America Rising PAC charged that it is inappropriate for someone in Clinton's position — particularly because she is the likely 2016 Democratic presidential candidate — to be seen as beholden to foreign powers. It called on the foundation to return the foreign money it has already accepted.
"The alarming rate at which these contributions are now coming in presents a massive conflict-of-interest problem for her," said Republican National Committee spokesman Michael Short. "When that 3 a.m. phone call comes, do voters really want to have a president on the line who took truckloads of cash from other countries? Absolutely not," The Wall Street Journal reported.


The United Arab Emirates, a first-time donor, gave between $1 million and $5 million in 2014.

Saudi Arabia has channeled between $10 million and $25 million into the coffers of the foundation since its creation in 1999.

Australia, Germany, Norway, Italy and the Netherlands were also contributors.

"The potential conflict of interest for someone in Clinton's position requires they return the money, and the ethical lapse to accept the money in the first place calls into question Hillary Clinton's judgment," American Rising said in a statement.

It further wants former President Bill Clinton to return speaking fees from foreign governments and commit not to take any more foreign-funded engagements.

The Clinton Foundation has served to facilitate many of the former first lady's recent public appearances.

As she prepares for her expected presidential bid, Clinton has remained involved with the foundation's philanthropic activities, Politico reported.
