Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) says Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton ought to cut all ties with the Clinton Foundation if elected in November. “I would certainly suggest that as president of the United States she should cease all operations, all contact, with the Clinton Foundation,” Sanders said in an interview on NBC’s “Meet the Press” that aired Sunday. Sanders, a Democratic primary opponent who has endorsed Clinton, joins a growing chorus of voices urging the former secretary of state to cut ties with the foundation. The foundation has faced increased scrutiny in recent months following allegations of ethical impropriety surrounding Clinton’s tenure as secretary of state. In June, while still a candidate for president, Sanders criticized Clinton’s ties to the foundation.
