Donald Trump launched a new allegation at Hillary Clinton on Tuesday, accusing her of having "laundered" money through a for-profit university while she was secretary of state.
In a rapid-response email blast sent during Clinton’s speech attacking Trump’s economic proposals, the billionaire’s campaign accused the former secretary of state of funneling government money to Laureate Education, a for-profit chain of universities that employed Bill Clinton as honorary chancellor until April 2015.
The former president made $16.5 million over his five years in that position while his wife added Laureate to the State Department Global Partnership. Trump alleges the Department of State awarded $55.2 million in grants to Laureate, an accusation that is not quite accurate since there is no indication that State Department money flowed directly to the for-profit education chain. According to Bloomberg, the $55.2 million in State Department and USAID grant money actually went to the International Youth Foundation, a non-profit group headed by Laurate Education Chairman Douglas Becker.

We cannot afford any more controversies and pummeling from the media!
I am praying that Trump thoroughly destroys the wicked witch!!
Get a grip, it's only just begun, including, and especially, the media attacks.
Fortunately for America you have no input, that's Trumps call.
Let them expalin their way out of it. The more they try, the more exposed.
Eff em. Get it out there and fast. And I suspect the worst is yet to come.
Ah, I just noticed your sign up date.
A Concern Troll, just in time to warn us all.
You should have signed up a year ago so you could dissuade us from voting for him and then we wouldn’t be in this pickle.
Their daughter lives in multi-million dollar digs and her parents made every penny from politics.
Go figure.
Just remember this is all stuff we have heard but Trump needs to go all in so the media covers it (if even to try to diss him).....it will wake some people up to start to search for answers
You are certainly correct about that. But imagine Hillary laying in bed at night (I know that's diffiult but stick with me) wondering if there is anyone at the FBI that might be talking to the Trump campaign.
That might what is going on here.
Fact: Hillary’s State Dept funneled over $55 million the International Youth Foundation, a non-profit group headed by Laurate Education Chairman Douglas Becker.
Fact: Bill Clinton was made “honorary chancellor” for Laureate Education and paid $16.5 million for doing absolutely nothing.
With all the Clinton scandals, does anyone think the $16.5 million was anything but a kickback?
"It's not a gang, it's a club."
The last thing I aim to imply is that I am discouraging anyone from supporting Trump. He is our only hope to save the country. He even compelled me to switch from being a lifelong democrat of 38 yrs to vote for him in Maryland in April.
I constantly engage family, friends, neighbors and just about everyone I meet to vote for Trump. I have also called my Governor’s office to implore Larry Hogan to work to deliver our state for Trump but he refuses to budge!!
The main reason I signed up on FR was to correspond with fellow Trumpsters! We have to stick together!!! We will really be in a pickle for sure if Trump isn’t elected!!
Criminals. The clintoons are the most corrupt politician trash to come down the pike.
Trump accuses Her Majesty of laundering? How sexist. /s
In that case, I apologize and welcome you to FR.
Trump is incredibly brave, as you have seen.
Instead of worrying, as is easy to do, enjoy the ride because it’s going to be death defying.
Trump is going to be President a year from now.
All the things that have happened until now have been but temporary obstacles in his path.
From here on out? More temporary obstacles.
What was the first bad week?
Bill got paid 16 million to be the Honorary “Chancellor” of the bogus scam.
The scam is an art form for the Clinton Crime Family. RICO if anyone ever deserved it.
Proof, what proof? Rush Limbaugh is fond of saying that with liberals, it’s never really what the crime is, but the “seriousness of the charge” that counts. True here to but then the dinosaur media has a double standard, and the goal posts constantly change to fit their agenda.
Um, duh!
I only three words to those that doubt this.
