The question is does the SEC have investigative jurisdiction over foundations such as the Clinton Foundation?

My thought was that for most things it shouldn't. The SEC deals with securities, but not necessarily with tax fraud. And, its not easy to see how anything about the Clinton Foundation involves securities, unless they borrowed money and issued some sort of notes. There's no investors, at least not in the usual sense.

I would think an investigation of that Foundation could focus in other areas--was it in fact a charity, and if not, it's tax fraud. Were they selling influence--if so, that's a different area of investigation.

I think the SEC is a civilian regulatory authority. It’s not the same as a criminal investigative service like the FBI.

I suppose if someone wanted to investigate the Clinton Foundation, you’d likely use the IRS first maybe?

Those were my thoughts as well. Charles Ortel would be a good person to research. He probably knows more about the CF and its crimes that anyone walking. Be interesting if someone could get this question to him.

Would accepting securities to avoid taxes or launder $$ fall under SEC jurisdiction?
