The Department of justice launched a new investigation in relation to the Charitable Clinton Foundation, on the subject of whether to use a non-profit organization for illicit purposes, namely money laundering, when Hillary Clinton held the position of Secretary of state. The investigation is conducted in fact, the charges have not yet been made.
One of the versions of the criminal use of the Fund, created in 1997, then President bill Clinton, suggests that, while in office Hillary Clinton through the Fund received remuneration in the form of «donations» from the governments of other States, upholding, in the end, not only U.S. interests, but lobbying for the interests of other countries in America. Speaking of damage: we are talking about tens of millions of dollars. Further, tax-exempt money somehow has been used by the Clintons for personal use, investigators believe. All the nuances of the use of the criminal scheme is not yet clear.
The FBI has already interviewed one witness, whose name was not disclosed. In the coming weeks have planned a number of investigative actions. About that officers of the Bureau told The Hill on condition of anonymity.
The representative of Hillary Clinton, Nick Merrill, on Friday morning said that the new FBI investigation is nothing but a red herring, designed to shift public attention from the contradictions between trump and Putin in something scandalous and groundless.
The staff of the Fund argue that the organization engaged exclusively in charitable work.
The resumption of the investigation meets the promise of senior officials of the Ministry of justice, the U.S. Congress late last year. Officials said it would review legal issues and criminal cases, for unclear reasons, has not received its development during the administration of President Obama. President trump himself has repeatedly stated that he did not understand why no charges were never brought against the Clintons in terms of illegal use of your charity Foundation.
