Hillary Won’t Say If Elected President She Would Have Bill Step Down From Foundation [VIDEO]

Hillary Clinton twice dodged the question if Bill Clinton would step down from the Clinton Foundation if she was elected president.

In an interview with CNN’s Anderson Cooper on Wednesday, Cooper said, “The foundation has obviously raised huge sums of money for worthy causes, it’s always not been transparent though: tens of millions of dollars have come from a Canadian partnership whose donors can remain secret. There was a large donation from Algeria that wasn’t submitted to State Department for approval. If you’re president, will your husband divest himself of any association with the foundation?” (RELATED: EXCLUSIVE: Clinton Foundation Got $100M From ‘Blood Minerals’ Firm)

Speaking from the location where she housed her private email server, Clinton replied, “Well, Anderson, you know, we’ll cross that bridge if and when we come to it.”

Clinton then said, “We had absolutely overwhelming disclosure. Were there one or two instances that slipped through the cracks? Yes. But was the overwhelming amount of anything that anybody gave the foundation disclosed, absolutely.” (RELATED: Napolitano: ‘Ample Evidence’ To Indict Clinton, Only Lynch Or Obama Could Prevent It [VIDEO])

The former secretary of state then went on to plug the “work” the Foundation completed before arguing, “We have so much we are proud of and I will put that up against any of the innuendo and accusation coming from Donald Trump because the work that’s been done has garnered accolades and appreciation from every corner of the world because it has been so far sight, visionary, and effective.” (RELATED: EXCLUSIVE: Persian Gulf Sheikhs Gave Bill & Hillary $100 Million [VIDEO])

Cooper reiterated the question again, “But some big donors clearly want association with you or your husband that they linked to the foundation gives them. As president, it’s vital that you, or certainly your husband not to appear in anyway compromised. So I guess, have you considered the idea of him stepping down?” (RELATED: Ethics Complaint Says Big Clinton Donors Got State Dept Access)

“Again, you know I’m not going to consider anything until we see what the circumstances are, but let me just point out that people give lots of money to presidential campaigns, don’t they,” Clinton deflected. “They give lots of money to political parties as well. So, you know, that is money that goes directly to support political activities of candidates, money that has been given to the Foundation goes to support humanitarian work.”

“And if people want to influence anybody in office, I think they would choose the political route and indeed the work of the Foundation really speaks for itself.”

Since setting up the Clinton foundation, they Clinton’s have raked in hundreds of millions of dollars, including vast sums from foreign donors. (RELATED: EXCLUSIVE: Disgraced Clinton Donor Got $13M In State Dept Grants Under Hillary)

According to The Daily Caller News Foundation, $13 million dollars in grants, contracts, and loans were given to a Clinton Foundation donor while Hillary was secretary of state.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
