Clinton Foundation to continue accepting some foreign money
None
The board of the Clinton Foundation said Wednesday night that it will continue accepting donations from foreign governments, but only from six nations, a move that appears aimed at insulating Hillary Rodham Clinton from controversies over the charity's reliance on millions of dollars from abroad as she ramps up her presidential campaign.
Clinton, who resigned from the foundation's board last week, officially launched her campaign Sunday and is the frontrunner for the Democratic nomination. She has faced mounting criticism over the charity's ties to foreign governments. Her campaign for the Democratic nomination referred questions about the board's decision to the foundation.
The board of the Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton Foundation said that future donations will only be allowed from the governments of Australia, Canada, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway and the United Kingdom - all nations that previously supported the charity's health, poverty and climate change programs.
