The Clinton Foundation likely will refile some tax documents after making “mistakes” by combining government grants with other donations even as former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton moves to deflect an escalating money-for-influence scandal.
Maura Pally, acting CEO of the Clinton Foundation, said in a statement Sunday that the global charity will “likely refile forms for some years” after a voluntary external review, while stressing the total revenue was accurately reported.
“So yes, we made mistakes, as many organizations of our size do, but we are acting quickly to remedy them, and have taken steps to ensure they don’t happen in the future,” Ms. Pally said. “We are committed to operating the Foundation responsibly and effectively to continue the life-changing work that this philanthropy is doing every day.”
The disclosure came with Mrs. Clinton under fire for the foundation raising funds from foreign governments while she was serving as the Obama administration’s top diplomat. In the latest missive, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich accused Mrs. Clinton of breaking the law by accepting foundation donations from foreign governments during her tenure at the State Department.
