Information About the Clinton Foundation

This week, over on the Election Central Web site, we examine some information about the Clinton Foundation and how it has recently become a point of controversy in the 2016 presidential election.

In 1997, while still president of the United States, Bill Clinton created a charitable organization. Its original purpose was to fund raise for the establishment of his presidential library. (It is customary for outgoing U.S. presidents to create such an institution, located in his home state, as a place to house and organize the papers and artifacts of his administration.) That library-building organization has since evolved into a multi-billion dollar charitable foundation. The Clinton Foundation, however, has recently been the subject of intense scrutiny.
