Ms. Clinton had pledged to dissociate from the functioning of the foundation when she took over as the Secretary of State. However, the staff of the foundation sought special treatment for donors from the State Department, according to documents. “No issue better illustrates how corrupt my opponent is than her pay for play scandals as Secretary of State,” Mr. Trump said, demanding an investigation. The Clinton Foundation accepts money from foreign donors, including foreign governments, which Mr. Trump alleges is a threat to U.S. national security. The Clinton campaign hit back at the Republican opponent questioning his business interests overseas.
