Swiss paid 500kFr to Clinton Found. amid bank investigation

Post by USN_Hokie »

The newspaper Schweiz am Sonntag revealed this Sunday: The Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC), the organ of the Federal Department of Foreign Affairs (FDFA) in charge of international cooperation, paid in 2011 Nearly 500,000 francs to the Clinton Foundation, the charity of Hillary Clinton, when she was then Secretary of State.

According to the newspaper, the unfortunate candidate at the White House was an important negotiating partner for Bern in its fiscal dispute with the United States.

The FDFA confirmed the payment of half a million. He said that the SDC had supported a project from the Clinton Health Access Initiative to reduce maternal and child mortality in Liberia between September 2011 and August 2013.

The Sunday paper also recalls that during the summer of 2011, former federal councilor Micheline Calmy-Rey had indicated during a show in Solothurn that she was in direct contact with Hillary Clinton: "Believe me, it helps when For example, Swiss banks in the US are under pressure. "

The Clinton Foundation was created by Bill Clinton when he left the White House in 2001. The charity, which raised some $ 2 billion since its inception, was strongly criticized by the Republicans during the presidential campaign. The latter accuse Hillary Clinton of conflicts of interest when she led American diplomacy, while the foundation received large foreign donations.

At the end of August, Donald Trump had accused his rival Democratic presidential candidate of having committed a form of "corruption" worthy of the "third world" through the Clinton Foundation. (Nxp)
