| Clinton Foundation to keep Harvey Weinstein's $250,000 donation |
| 2017-10-16 |
| [FoxNews] The Clinton Foundation will not return as much as $250,000 in donations from disgraced Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein following the accusations of sexual harassment and rape. The foundation said Sunday that donations, ranging from $100,000 to $250,000, have already been spent on projects, The Daily Mail reported. The move to keep the money was expected following tweets from the foundation's spokesman Craig Minassian. "Suggesting @ClintonFdn return funds from our 330,000+ donors ignores the fact that donations have been used to help people across the world," Minassian wrote on Twitter. Suggesting @ClintonFdn return funds from our 330,000+ donors ignores the fact that donations have been used to help people across the world. https://t.co/dBXNZwAkWS ‐ Craig Minassian (@MinassianMedia) October 14, 2017 The calls to return Weinstein's money were prompted after multiple actresses have come forward and accused the Hollywood executive of sexual assault and rape, forcing numerous politicians and organization to grapple with the dilemma. Dozens Democratic Party politicians – including Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, Sen. Sen. Al Franken, Sen. Elizabeth Warren, Sen. Cory Booker – have pledged to donate their Weinstein's contributions to charities focused on women's rights. Hillary Clinton echoed her former colleagues, saying she was "shocked and appalled" after the sexual harassment allegations were revealed about Weinstein, who hosted fundraisers for her in the past and donated more than $46,000 to her recent presidential campaign and other election efforts. "What other people are saying, what my former colleagues are saying, is they're going to donate it to charity, and of course I will do that," she said on CNN. "I give 10% of my income to charity every year, this will be part of that. There's no – there's no doubt about it." Seems Clinton is keeping her promise to "donate" the money to "charity". |

| #4 Dear Hillary: please lookup the meaning of the word "fungible". You're just as obtuse as my sleazeball Senator, Tim Kaine. |

| #3 Why should they? You seem to forget the lack of any moral basis other than money laundering for the institution. Did they give back the Russian money? |

| #2 have pledged to donate their Weinstein's contributions to charities focused on women's rights. I take that to mean 'Panned Parenthood and Baby Parts' or NOW. |

| #1 Dozens Democratic Party politicians – including Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, Sen. Sen. Al Franken, Sen. Elizabeth Warren, Sen. Cory Booker – have pledged to donate their Weinstein's contributions to charities focused on women's rights. Virtue signaling. No need for any of that with the Clinton's. |
