A hacked memo released by WikiLeaks has shed light on how Bill Clinton profited — to the tune of tens of millions of dollars — from work channeled to him by an aide who also worked for the family’s charitable foundation.
In the 2011 memo, Mr Clinton’s aide Douglas Band said he personally provided the former president with over $50 million in “for profit” activities while he was leader of the foundation. Mr Band detailed his own money-making efforts both on behalf of Mr Clinton personally, and of the foundation, in a network of activity he called Bill Clinton Inc.
The latest disclosures have added to WikiLeaks revelations plaguing Hillary Clinton in the final stretch of her run for the White House.
They come from a trove of email stolen from the account of John Podesta, who played a leading role in the foundation before becoming Ms Clinton’s campaign chairman.
Podesta has refused to authenticate the emails, which US intelligence believes were stolen by Russian hackers to disrupt the US elections.
