Don’t forget the Clinton Foundation

Published June 16, 2016 4:01am ET



The Clinton Global Initiative has a curious record of leaving its projects unfinished, despite receiving multiple large donations from foreign interests that could benefit if Hillary Clinton is elected president (and may have already benefited from her service at the State Department).

As the Washington Examiner‘s Sarah Westwood reported Tuesday, the initiative operates by bringing business executives together and getting them to pledge to specific philanthropic commitments. According to a list posted in the organization’s report on Monday, the initiative has completed fewer than half of the commitments made since 2005. Thirty-six percent of them are listed as being “in progress.” Many others are listed as “stalled,” “unfulfilled,” or haven’t had any progress reported in at least two years.
