Bill Clinton has faced accusations of mismanaging personal and charitable funds. Towards the end of 2016, Andrew Kessel, CFO of the Clinton Foundation, alleged that the former president engaged in “commingling and use of business and donated funds and his personal expenses.”
Kessel also stated that Clinton ignores the advisements of individuals who work within his foundation.
“Many people within the foundation have tried to caution him about this but he does not listen, and there really is no talking to him.”
Negative Press Surrounding the Clinton Foundation
The Clinton Foundation is no stranger to negative media coverage. Last month, Americans learned that the number of donations received by the foundations has decreased by millions.
The drastic decline of roughly $36 million followed after Hillary Clinton’s failure to defeat President Donald Trump in the 2016 election. The loss of funds apparently prompted the foundation to lay off 22 of their workers; the closure of the Clinton Global Initiative also occurred after the deterioration of donations.
