Clinton's charity confirms Qatar's $1 million gift while she was at State Dept
the hit reel...
Clinton signed an
ethics agreement governing her family's globe-straddling foundation in order to become secretary of state in 2009.
Foundation officials told Reuters last year that they
did not always comply with central provisions of the agreement with President Barack Obama's administration, blaming oversights in some cases.
The State Department said it has
no record of being asked by the foundation to review any increases in support by a foreign government.
The foundation has declined to describe what sort of increase in funding by a foreign government would have triggered notification of the State Department for review.
Officials at Qatar's embassy in Washington and in its Council of Ministers in the capital, Doha,
declined to discuss the donation.
The State Department has said it has
no record of the foundation submitting the Qatar gift for review, and that it was incumbent on the foundation to notify the department about donations that needed attention. A department spokeswoman
did not respond to additional questions about the donation.
In another email released by WikiLeaks, a former Clinton Foundation fundraiser said he raised more than $21 million in connection with Bill Clinton's 65th birthday in 2011.
Spokesmen for Hillary
Clinton's campaign and Bill Clinton did not respond to emailed questions about the donation.
