Bill Clinton Anticipates 'Some Changes at the Family's Foundation If Wife Elected President
By MATTHEW CLAIBORNE ATLANTA Jun 14, 2016, 6:55 PM ET
In his first one-on-one interview since he started campaigning as Hillary Clintons most powerful surrogate in January, former President Bill Clinton today said the Clinton Foundation and his role in it would change if his wife wins the presidency in November.
When asked today at the foundations annual Clinton Global Initiative America meeting in Atlanta what happens to this humanitarian effort in the event of a second Clinton White House, he cited President Obama as an example of someone who has incorporated the private sector into effective decision-making.
If she wins, we will have to think about it, clearly. Politics is different from what I do. I just try to get partners together and make something good happen, Clinton told Bloomberg TVs David Westin, somewhat evasively. You have to be careful to avoid actual potential conflicts.
Pressed a bit on the issue in lieu of Donald Trumps recently expressed concerns about the foundations taking money from foreign governments, Clinton said, Well do the right thing. There will clearly be some changes with what the Clinton Foundation does and how we do it. We will have to cross that bridge when we come to it."
