Qatar Donated $1 million to Clinton Foundation While She was Secretary of State

 

Reports that the Clinton Foundation accepted a $1 million gift from Qatar while Hillary Clinton was U.S. secretary of state.  The State Department was supposed to be informed by her when the charity received substantial gifts from foreign governments.

iRumorMill.com Determination: Real

Hillary Clinton Foundation Donations

The reports are real, according to a Nov. 5, 2016 article by Reuters, which said, "Clinton signed an ethics agreement governing her family's globe-straddling foundation in order to become secretary of state in 2009."  In 2011 the Qatari officials promised a financia gift to help celebrate Bill Clinton's 65th birthday. They "sought to meet the former U.S. president in person the following year to present him the check, according to an email from a foundation official to Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign chairman, John Podesta."

The agreement Sec. Clinton signed was "designed to increase transparency to avoid appearances that U.S. foreign policy could be swayed by wealthy donors."

When Clinton Foundation officials were first asked about the about the foreign contribution they "declined to confirm the Qatar donation." Reuters reported, "[in] response to additional questions, a foundation spokesman, Brian Cookstra, this week said that it accepted the $1 million gift from Qatar, but this did not amount to a 'material increase' in the Gulf country's support for the charity. Cookstra declined to say whether Qatari officials received their requested meeting with Bill Clinton." 

 

The iRumorMill is looking further into the alleged donations to the Clinton Foundation and will post findings on this page as they develop.
