Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) on Friday called on Hillary Clinton to return all donations that foreign governments made to the Clinton Foundation, amid ongoing worries that those donations influenced U.S. foreign policy when Clinton was secretary of State.
“The Clinton Foundation collected tens of millions of dollars from foreign governments including donors who had business interests with the State Department while Clinton was secretary,” Cruz said. “She made decisions in that capacity that likely benefitted the same people who were giving large donations to the foundation.”
“At the very least, these revelations present a clear conflict of interest,” he added. “I call on Hillary Clinton to return the donations from foreign governments. Until she does, how can the American people trust her with another position of power?”
Several press reports surfaced Thursday saying Clinton’s department signed off on the sale of uranium rights in the U.S. to a Russian company, while the Clinton Foundation was receiving donations from that company. President Bill Clinton was also given a $500,000 speaking fee in Russia.
Cruz, who is running for president in 2016 just as Clinton is, created a page on his campaign website where people can add their name to a petition asking Clinton to return the money.
A Bold Move...which will scare the old drunk was past half to death!!
how DARE he question the ETHICS of the Most Ethical Woman In America???
Wait! Chelsea will lose her house!!
Give up tens of millions of dollars in bribes? No way! Once bought the Clintons stay bought!
Not sufficient, Sen. Cruz. She & her husband have been selling influence for a long, long time. They need to be indicted.
You have a much higher opinion of them than I do. A Clinton is merely rented until a higher price comes along.
Who is going to indict her? Loretta Lynch? Not in a month of Sundays.
Why was there ever a “Clinton Foundation” other than for bribes an other criminal activities? Why not donate to the Red Cross, Peace Corp, United Way, etc?
Jail the Clintons! Do it for the good of the nation and freedom!
if I rob a bank and later give the $$ back..does that make robbing the bank,not a crime?
” Wait! Chelsea will lose her house!!”
I doubt it is mortgaged.
It would be better to nullify the Uranium deal.
Then let the Russians and the Clintons work out what to do about the donations.

I stand corrected.
Some one needs to ask Hillary if she is going to accept money from Johnny Chung and Charlie Trie again... She has such a poor memory based on previous performances she probably won’t remember...
“Mrs. Clinton, Do you recall that while testifying before congressional investigators as first lady, she answered “I don’t know” or “I don’t remember” 250 times?”
I can not think of another Republican who would say this. Cruz is the one.
“Chelsea will lose her house!!”
She’ll still have her beauty..no, wait.
Cruz is always a mile ahead of the pack. That’s what leaders do.
She can’t!
It’s in Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Cayman Islands, Panama, Vanuatu..............
If we had a Justice Dept., she would already at least be under investigation and the Foundation’s accounts would be frozen.
It’s too late for that. It would only disgorge the bribes we know about, and not undo the damage.
