Earlier emails show Abedin, longtime Clinton confidant, slavishly served as a conduit between Clinton Foundation donors and Hillary Clinton while Clinton served as secretary of state....Huma was employed by the US govt at the State Dept AND the Clinton Foundation AT THE SAME TIME.
Circa 2016, in more than a dozen email exchanges, Abedin provided expedited, direct access to Clinton for donors who had contributed from $25,000 to $10 million to the Clinton Foundation.
In many instances, Clinton Foundation top executive Doug Band, who worked with the Foundation throughout Hillary Clinton’s tenure at State, coordinated closely with Abedin.
In Abedin’s June 2016 deposition to Judicial Watch, she conceded that part of her job at the State Department was taking care of “ Clinton family matters.”
One Abedin-Band exchange revealed that Crown Prince Salman of Bahrain requested a meeting with Secretary of State Clinton, but was forced to go through the Clinton Foundation for an appointment. Abedin advised Band that when she went through “normal channels” at State, Clinton declined to meet.
Band intervened and the meeting was set up within forty-eight hours. According to the Clinton Foundation website, in 2005, Prince Salman committed to establishing the Crown Prince’s International Scholarship Program (CPISP) for the Clinton Global Initiative. And by 2010, it had contributed $32 million to CGI.
The Kingdom of Bahrain reportedly gave between $50,000 and $100,000 to the Clinton Foundation. And Bahrain Petroleum also gave an additional $25,000 to $50,000.
