Clinton Foundation to end foreign donations if Hillary elected

[pnwmom]

4. The Foundation promised in 2009 not to accept foreign donations unless they were approved

by the State Department's ethics officials. Now they are committing to a blanket ban on foreign government donations, as well as corporate donations.

From your February 2015 link:

Countries including the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia and Oman have collectively contributed millions to the Clinton Foundation, which has dropped a self-imposed ban on donations from foreign governments, The Wall Street Journal reported late Tuesday.

The foundation's decision to again begin accepting foreign contributions will likely raise new questions, just as Hillary Clinton prepares for the expected launch of her 2016 White House bid in the coming months. The U.S. prohibits foreign citizens from donating to American campaigns.


The ban, which prohibited donations not approved by State Department ethics officials, took effect in 2009 after Hillary Clinton became secretary of State.
