Scripps News found that the foundation and its subsidiary, the Clinton Health Access Initiative, took in $225 million in government donations between 2010 and 2014.
New York's charity law clearly states:
"Organizations that received a contribution or grant from a government agency during the reporting period shall include the name of each agency from which contributions were received and the amount of each contribution."But both the foundation and the CHAI failed to do that, and Schneiderman, a member of Clinton's "leadership council" in New York and a fierce critic of Donald Trump, did nothing about it.
Other charities complied, including the George W. Bush foundation, which reported receiving $5 million from Saudi Arabia and $500,000 from Kuwait.
On its website, the Clinton Foundation reveals its foreign donors, but using only broad ranges, such as $5 million to $10 million, without any time frames. The IRS doesn't require such disclosures.
In 2009, Clinton's first year at the State Department, the foundation disclosed a lump sum of $122 million in foreign-government donations in its New York paperwork, posting the total amount on a form that requires all charities to "list each government contribution separately."
Clinton spokesman Josh Schwerin said, "This is a ridiculous accusation. The Clinton Foundation goes above and beyond the disclosure requirements by listing every donor on their website and updating the list quarterly."
Schneiderman's office said, "The Clinton Foundation's disclosures regarding funding from foreign governments are in compliance with New York law."
Comment: The New York State Attorney General, Eric Schneiderman, has since resigned his position (see below). In this case he clearly gave the Clintons a pass by condoning illegal bookkeeping according to New York law. What was in it for Schneiderman? He was a legal tyrant towards President Trump, but snuggled into the Clintons' crime pocket.
