WASHINGTON (AP) — Hacked emails show Hillary Clinton personally pushed for a Clinton Foundation summit in Morocco last year that stoked public controversy over her family charity’s reliance on large sum donations from foreign governments.
Clinton confidant Huma Abedin bluntly said in the January 2015 email that “if HRC was not part of it, meeting was a non-starter” and then warned: “She created this mess and she knows it.”
It was uncharacteristic remark from an aide known for her abiding loyalty to Clinton over the years.
The hacked email was among more than 4,000 messages posted Thursday on the website of the WikiLeaks organization. The emails were stolen from the accounts of John Podesta, the chairman of the Democratic nominee’s presidential campaign.
The king of Morocco committed $12 million to host the event.
