Clinton Foundation won't accept foreign money if Hillary wins

The Clinton Foundation will no longer accept corporate and foreign donations if Hillary Clinton becomes president, according to The Associated Press. Former President Bill Clinton announced the plan to staffers Thursday, the AP said, citing anonymous participants at the meeting. A formal announcement is expected soon.

Under the proposed changes, the family's charitable group would only accept donations from U.S. citizens and independent charities.

Bill Clinton said the foundation will continue its work and would refocus its efforts after an overhaul that could take a year. He added that the Clinton Global Initiative, an annual summit that brings together influential world leaders, would hold its final meeting next month in New York City regardless of the election's outcome. Clinton also said he would also step down from the board of the foundation, according to the report. He was accompanied daughter Chelsea Clinton at the meeting.

The changes to the foundation come amid growing questions about how it would operate during a potential Hillary Clinton presidency.

million dollar grant from Australia. Australia is one of 8 or 9 countries that they were still accepting money from for the past year or so.

Apparently this is a really terrible thing because, well because... it is the Clintons.
