The Clinton Foundation has been among the biggest vulnerabilities in Hillary Clinton’s campaign for the White House. 

Clinton calendars and emails released by the State Department showed ongoing co-ordination among Clinton’s top aides and Bill Clinton’s top aides at the foundation and his private office.

 Her critics have accused her of providing favours to foundation donors, though there has been no evidence of this.

Band wrote the memo to lawyers hired by the Clinton Foundation to audit the organization’s structure and operations.

 It did not specifically cite ethics concerns, and in a new statement Thursday Band told The Associated Press that his firm, Teneo, “never received any financial benefit or benefit of any kind” for its work for the Clinton Foundation. 
Band did not elaborate about what gifts Bill Clinton obtained from his speech and consulting clients,

Hillary Clinton met with or spoke to representatives of at least 15 companies and organizations that paid her husband for speaking engagements during her tenure as secretary of state, according to a review of her planning schedules from the State Department.

And has that person been drawn and quartered?”    asked Neera Tanden, president of the pro-Clinton think-tank , the Center for American Progress.

 Top State Department officials have said no one in the agency provided such permission and they did not become aware until as late as 2014 that she had used a private server to conduct all her government business.
