The Clintons ditch two of the most controversial parts of their charity foundation as they quit Haiti and admit donations plunged amid controversy over Hillary
The Clinton Foundation is plotting its next step, shedding two of its most politically problematic
programs, along with the annual Clinton Global Initiative A defiant Bill Clinton wrote a letter this week about the charity's future, lambasting the 'unprecedented' and 'misleading' political attacks
The charity's president confirmed that donations were down last year, as the foundation was at the center of pay-to-play political attacks on Hillary Clinton
The Clinton Foundation is shedding two of its most politically problematic programs, while Bill Clinton is asking for supporters' advice on where to take his family's charity arm next.
Being spun into separate entities are the foundation's initiatives in the country of Haiti, along with the Clinton Giustra Enterprise Partnership, named after a billionaire backer of the couple.
Additionally, the Clinton Global Initiative, the annual meet-and-greet in New York City between celebrities, rock stars, activists, dignitaries and Clintons, officially closed up shop in recent weeks.
In an interview with the New York Times, Clinton Foundation President Donna Shalala admitted that donations dropped thanks to the political climate of last year. 'Last year was a tough year,' she admitted, 'because people were beating on us with nonsense.'
While Shalala confirmed that donations were down, she added that some of the decreased funding was because of voluntary restriction the charity abided by so to not complicate Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign.
Additionally, because the charity's biggest stars – Bill and Chelsea Clinton – were spending so much time on the campaign trial, they didn't have room in their schedules for fundraising.

Clintons had skimmed as much cash as they could and with donations down they’re cutting them loose.
The Bushes will be out in front defending the Clintons.
The foundation has raised over $30million for Haiti.
“They were beating you with common sense.”
They were beating on them with the TRUTH!
The Foundation is nothing more than a slush fund for the evil Clinton Family. The “good works” amounted to donating a mere 8% of the funds collected. “Administrative Costs,” is code for big pay checks given to family and friends.
I doubt that there has ever been so crooked an enterprise as the Clinton Global Initiative! A POX on the whole damned bunch.
The Clintons have never helped anyone but themselves.
Bwahaha! Donna is such a knockout!
I have been railing against these non profit charities for years. People who have no accounting knowledge just have no idea.
All non-profit means is that you do not show that your income is more than your expenses, hence “profit”. Therefore paying out anything, such as administrative salaries, travel expenses get beefed up if there are a great amount of “donations”.
Huge example: Where is the cure for which the race is run every year??? Hint: Susan’s sister maintains a lofty lifestyle due to Susan’s death. Where is the cure?
Just sayin’.....
Interesting...it is time that these shady practices are ended. The Congress will not do it, too many critters have their own “foundation” to protect. An aggressive AG and an honest FBI is called for.
I know of the Susan B’s charity and have wondered why there is little known about where the money goes.
Ever wonder exactly where the several lotteries’ money goes? Simply a tax on poor people who can’t do math and a boon for administrations.
Clintons closing down, eh?
Man, the bad news about the Clintons keeps getting better all the time.
Her SIL is jobless......forced to close down his disastrous hedge fund seeing that Hillary cant use our govt to keep him afloat.
Somebody posted a video of Hillary rushing to Chelsea’s place. Could it be the SIL’s gonna do a disappearing act, again?
Disappear as in D I v o R c e ?
Best thing that could happen to him. What do the Tabloids say?
WJC is going to Palm Beach this week end. Hope the USSS keep him away from DT
One tabloid, The Globe, had headline of Hillary fleeing the country to avoid prison. Unfortunately not a reliable source.
Remember right after the marriage......he took off on a skiing trip.....alone.
Guess Hillary had to bribe him to come back......but she was Secy of State then....a president-in-waiting.
Maybe the guy feels the time is ripe to get out.
Is that the Hubbell kid in the wedding dress?
Where is Bent Bill’s Energizer Bunny....Are those visits regular? How does the SS log cite the comings and goings?
Getting out and destroying all evidence?
Clinton Foundation President Donna Shalala!!
Donna Shalala is the CEO of Clinton Foundation?? Who kniew!?

WJC is going to Plam Beach How close is that to Haiti via boat or private plane? Is he picking up something?
Not far as the crow flies.
