The Clinton Global Initiative did not break the law, Bill Clinton told a CNN reporter on a ropeline in Kentucky.
“The Clinton Foundation playing defense today denying claims it steered millionins of dollars to a company owned by friends of the family and now the powerful charity is bringing in a watchdog to try to put an end to questions about transparency. It’s all in response to a Wall Street Journal report that the Clinton Global Initiative arranged for millions in private and federal money to go to a clean energy company partially owned by close friends of the Clintons. The former president denies any laws were broken,” a CNN anchor report.
CNN then goes to a tape of someone asking the former president a question. “Regarding the (inaudible_ report, did the CGI break the law?”
“No. I haven’t had a chance to read it carefully but I think my foundation … is answering it,” Bill Clinton says.
“Do you deny?”
“Oh God, yes,” says Clinton.
