Documents released on Tuesday reveal that former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s staff at the State Department coordinated with staff at the Clinton Global Initiative to help her thank the nonprofit’s donors for their “commitments.” The information, obtained by Judicial Watch through a Freedom of Information Act request, includes emails from 2009 that were exchanged between prominent staff members at both organizations.
“We can arrange it however HRC [Hillary Rodham Clinton] prefers,” says one Aug. 24 email from Amitabh Desai, CGI’s director of policy planning, in reference to the agenda that would be in place for one of the organization’s events. “Ordinarily, WJC [William Jefferson Clinton] announces these and then either introduces a guest or a panel discussion.”
