Bill Clinton to leave board of foundation health project

Bill Clinton to leave board of foundation health project

Hillary Clinton will look to highlight her foreign policy credentials next week by meeting with foreign leaders during the United Nations General Assembly in NY, according to an aide.

The controversy began Monday when Clinton told Charlie Rose on his PBS program that his wife had "frequently" suffered spells like the one she had Sunday at the September 11 memorial in New York City, where she almost collapsed. With the Clinton Foundation under election-year scrutiny, he's pledged that this year will mark the last CGI gathering, regardless of the outcome of the election.

The issues, which have drawn wide attention by the media and by her opponents, may have eroded Clinton's popularity, but it is not clear whether they have made a lasting impact on her level of support in the presidential race against Trump, where she holds a small lead. The Clintons have said the Clinton Foundation will stop accepting foreign and corporate donations if Hillary Clinton wins the presidency.

In a statement, CHAI said it would no longer use the Clinton name in its branding even though the organization has no plans to change its acronym.

CHAI's announcement follows similar decisions from the Clinton Foundation.

Magaziner, who has been friends with Bill Clinton since they were students at Oxford University, would remain as the project's chief executive. What Bill really said was, "Next time I checked - last time I checked, millions of people were getting it every year".

Shalala also said that it was not unusual for Clinton to have met influential people who were also Foundation donors while she was secretary of state.

"You have to be a certain age, and it helps to be a white Southern man - I know what that means", he said.

She said Clinton's meetings with people including Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus and Melinda Gates were "courtesy appointments".

"Removing Chelsea Clinton from CHAI is a tacit admission that her presence on the parent foundation's board clearly poses a conflict", said RNC spokesman Raj Shah.

The Trump campaign fired back at Shalala's words.

The Clinton Health Access Initiative, which has focused on reducing the cost of HIV medicine in sub-Saharan Africa, now accounts for about two thirds of the foundation's annual income and expenses, according to disclosures online.

The Trump campaign on Wednesday called the move a "PR gimmick".
