Chelsea Clinton begged her mother for assistance in getting a visa for a friend – and the then Secretary of State’s top aides scrambled to help, new emails published on Thursday reveal.

The tranche of emails were forced out of the State Department by campaign group Citizens United in lengthy litigation, and cast new light on Clinton’s use of her secret server, and her relationship with her daughter.

In January 2012, Chelsea emailed Hillary Clinton, then secretary of state, and her top aides Huma Abedin and Cheryl Mills asking them for help in obtaining a visa for a 'distraught' friend and forwarding the email of his ‘story’.

The email was sent on a Sunday morning to Clinton’s secret Clintonemail.com address, whose existence was concealed by Clinton and which has become a running sore for her campaign.

Hillary didn’t tell Chelsea, “What difference does it make?”?

Did he have a huge inheritance he needed help accessing?

WHY does a British citizen need a visa to enter the USA?

The USA has reciprocal agreements for visa-free entry with the UK.

‘”Hi Mom, Cheryl and Huma - The silliest thing about my blanking on the call this morning was that I was actually on the phone with my friend [redacted] who is distraught about his current visa conundrum (is talking about something firmly in your world!)’
‘I asked him to write out an explanation and send it to me so that I could see if there was anything the collective you could do to help him given the challenge originated from a miscommunication and a snafu and no ill intent (quite the opposite).”

Say what?

Visa wavier is for 90 days only. But if your intent is to work or study , then you need a visa.

VB1 Visa is so easy to get, why he need help from Clinton?

He is MD of YouGov. Should easily get B1 visa. Unless and until he had criminal record.

Nice. Too bad HRC and her team didn't exert the same energy and influence in getting help to the men in the Benghazi compound. Effing b***h.
