   When Hillary Clinton agreed to be Secretary of State during   
   President Obama's first term, she promised her distance from the   
   Clinton Foundation. The foundation also agreed to limit foreign   
   donations.   
      
   Both agreements were for good reasons. Foreign officials and   
   governments were big donors to the Clintons' family foundation,   
   and there were concerns in the Obama administration about   
   conflicts of interest between the foundation and Hillary   
   Clinton's work at Secretary of State.   
      
   But over the past year, evidence has emerged that both Clinton   
   and the foundation failed to live up to those promises. Clinton   
   and her top officials continued to have a cozy relationship with   
   the foundation throughout her tenure at State, and evidence   
   strongly suggest that Clinton was granting access and favors to   
   major Clinton Foundation donors.   
      
   In addition, the Clinton Foundation accepted millions of   
   donations from foreign governments while Hillary was at State,   
   including one that violated an ethics agreement it had with the   
   Obama administration.   
      
   The story came to light after the release of a groundbreaking   
   book by Peter Schweizer — called "Clinton Cash" — which   
   uncovered a serious of State Department decisions that appeared   
   to favor big Clinton Foundation donors.   
      
   Emails that emerged more recently made it clear that donors   
   received special access and attention from Clinton and her top   
   aides. An AP story found that more than half the private   
   visitors Clinton received at State were donors to her family   
   foundation.
