5:16Now PlayingDonald Trump has been having trouble getting a lot of donations. Hillary Clinton is mocking him, and bragging about the donations she is getting. Cenk Uygur, host of The Young Turks, breaks it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
“A senior aide to then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton appeared to mock the appointment of a major Democratic donor to an intelligence advisory board when the selection came under scrutiny.
In 2011, Clinton’s office appeared to have pushed for Rajiv Fernando, a financial trader, to be placed on the International Security Advisory Board, despite his lack of national security experience.
“Couldn’t he have landed a spot on the President’s Physical Fitness Council?” senior aide Philippe Reines wrote in an email to two other aides of Clinton, according to emails released to McClatchy by the conservative organization Citizens United. Citizens United obtained the emails as result of a lawsuit under the Freedom of Information Act.
