Fingers Crossed: Bill Clinton Agrees to Release Donor Names
This is what we’ve been waiting for since January 2008. I’m holding my breath and hoping Barack et al have checked it over and believe that it will fly. As much as I have mistrusted HRC, it would be a heart-breaker if Bill sullied her stairway up. Again.
NEW YORK (Reuters) – Former President Bill Clinton has agreed to make public the names of more than 200,000 donors to his foundation as part of a deal with President-elect Barack Obama to clear the way for Sen. Hillary Clinton to become secretary of state, The New York Times reported on Sunday.
Citing Democrats close to Clinton and Obama, the newspaper reported Clinton had decided to publish his contributor list to avoid an appearance of conflict of interest with his wife’s duties as secretary of state.
Her appointment is expected to be announced on Monday.
A member of Obama’s transition team confirmed the conditions of the agreement as reported by the Times.
