Hacked emails show Clinton aides fretted over foundation donors

Hacked emails released by WikiLeaks indicate that Hillary Clinton's top aides exchanged concerns in the years before she announced her 2016 presidential bid that foreign donations to the Clinton Foundation and Bill Clinton's own money-making ventures could create problems for her. One top aide to Mr. Clinton, Douglas Band, said in an email released Wednesday that the former president had received personal income and "many expensive gifts" from some foundation donors. Chelsea Clinton hired an auditor to look at the foundation and accused some of her father's aides of "hustling" to win clients for their own businesses during foundation events. [The New York Times]
