FACT Calls on Clinton To Immediately Amend Her Financial Disclosure To Fix Omissions

Clinton Criticizes “Dark Money,” But Leaves The American Public In The Dark On Her Finances

Foundation for Accountability and Civic Trust (FACT) Executive Director Matt Whitaker today called on presidential candidate and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to immediate amend her financial disclosure.

“Secretary Clinton’s financial disclosure doesn’t give the American people the whole story of her finances and should immediately be amended,” Whitaker said. “Secretary Clinton says she opposes so-called ‘dark money’ in politics, but she appears to be leaving us in the dark on her finances.”

As Politico reported today: “The long-awaited disclosure omits an unknown number of speeches the Clintons delivered while directing the payment or honoraria to the Clinton Foundation, a POLITICO analysis of the document found, despite instructions on the form and guidance from the Office of Government Ethics saying that honoraria directed to a charity should be reported.”

“Secretary Clinton needs to disclose information about the spee

ches she delivered that resulted in money being directed to the Clinton Foundation,” Whitaker said, “There have been so many questions about the finances of the Clinton Foundation, and Secretary Clinton’s financial disclosure only raises more questions rather than answers them.”
