Huma Abedin Emails Show Clinton Foundation Donor Demands on State Department
(Washington DC) – Judicial Watch today released 296 pages of State
Department records, of which 44 email exchanges were not previously turned
over to the State Department, bringing the known total to date to 171 of new
Clinton emails (not part of the 55,000 pages of emails that Clinton turned
over to the State Department). These records further appear to contradict
statements by Clinton that, “as far as she knew,” all of her government
emails were turned over to the State Department
The new documents reveal that in April 2009 controversial Clinton Foundation
official Doug Band pushed for a job for an associate. In the email Band
tells Hillary Clinton’s former aides at the State Department Cheryl Mills
and Huma Abedin that it is “important to take care of [Redacted]. Band is
reassured by Abedin that “Personnel has been sending him options.” Band
was co-founder of Teneo Strategy with Bill Clinton and a top official of the
Clinton Foundation, including its Clinton Global Initiative.
Included in the new document production is a 2009 email in which Band,
directs Abedin and Mills to put Lebanese-Nigerian billionaire and Clinton
Foundation donor Gilbert Chagoury in touch with the State Department’s “
substance person” on Lebanon. Band notes that Chagoury is “key guy there
[Lebanon] and to us,” and insists that Abedin call Amb. Jeffrey Feltman to
connect him to Chagoury.
Chagoury is a close friend of former President Bill Clinton and a top donor
to the Clinton Foundation. He has appeared near the top of the Foundation’s
donor list as a $1 million to $5 million contributor, according to
foundation documents. He also pledged $1 billion to the Clinton Global
Initiative. According to a 2010 investigation by PBS Frontline, Chagoury
was convicted in 2000 in Switzerland for laundering money from Nigeria, but
agreed to a plea deal and repaid $66 million to the Nigerian government.
Clinton’s top aides’ favors for and interactions with the Clinton
Foundation seem in violation of the ethics agreements that Hillary Clinton
agreed to in order to be appointed and confirmed as Secretary of State. For
example, Secretary of State-designate Hillary Clinton on January 5, 2009,
in a letter to State Department Designated Agency Ethics Official James H.
Thessin:
“For the duration of my appointment as Secretary if I am confirmed, I will
not participate personally and substantially in any particular matter
involving specific parties in which The William J. Clinton Foundation (or
the Clinton Global Initiative) is a party or represents a party….”
As preparation for Hillary’s upcoming visit to Asia, Stephen Roach,
chairman of Morgan Stanley Asia, on Feb. 11, 2009, sends Hillary a copy of
his upcoming testimony before Congress in which he would condemn any U.S.
efforts to criticize Chinese monetary policy or enact trade barriers.
Several days later, Hillary asked Abedin about Roach possibly “connecting”
with her while she was in Beijing: “I forwarded you my email to him about
connecting in Beijing. Can he come to the embassy or other event?” Morgan
Stanley is a long-time financial supporter of the Clintons.
The emails also reveal that Abedin left then-Secretary Clinton’s daily
schedule, a presumably sensitive document, on a bed in an unlocked hotel
room. An email on April 18, 2009, during a conference in Trinidad and
Tobago, from aide Melissa J. Lan to Huma Abedin asks for the Secretary’s “
day book binders.” Abedin replies: “Yes. It’s on the bed in my room. U
can take it. My door is open. I’m in the lobby.Thx.” Moreover, the emails
show the annoyance of another Clinton aide that the schedule was sent to an
authorized State Department email address and not to an unsecured non-state.
gov account.
The emails reveal that Clinton campaign adviser and pollster Mark Penn
advised Clinton on NATO and piracy. Another major Clinton fundraiser, Lana
Moresky, also pushed Clinton to hire someone for a position at State.
Clinton directed Abedin to follow up and “help” the applicant and told
Abedin to “let me know” about the job issue.
The emails show that Hillary Clinton relied on someone named “Justin” (
presumably Justin Cooper, a Bill Clinton and Clinton Foundation employee),
to set up her cell phone voicemail, rather than having State Department
personnel handle it. This was in a February 11, 2009, email from Clinton
aide Lauren Jiloty to Clinton, using Clinton’s [email protected]/* */
address.
This is the ninth set of records produced for Judicial Watch by the State
Department from the non-state.gov email accounts of Huma Abedin.
The documents were produced under a court order in a May 5, 2015, Freedom of
Information (FOIA) lawsuit against the State Department (Judicial Watch,
Inc. v. U.S. Department of State (No. 1:15-cv-00684)) requiring the agency
to produce “all emails of official State Department business received or
sent by former Deputy Chief of Staff Huma Abedin from January 1, 2009
through February 1, 2013, using a ‘non-state’.gov email address.”
“No wonder Hillary Clinton and Huma Abedin hid emails from the American
people, the courts and Congress,” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton.
“They show the Clinton Foundation, Clinton donors, and operatives worked
with Hillary Clinton in potential violation of the law.”
In June, Judicial Watch uncovered two batches (here and here) of new Clinton
email records through court-ordered discovery.
Twice in May, Judicial Watch uncovered new Clinton emails, including emails
that show Clinton knew about the security risk of her BlackBerry (see here
and here).
Recently, Judicial Watch released other State Department emails (one batch
of 103 pages, the second of 138 pages), with newly discovered Clinton emails
also going back as far as January 2009.
In March, Judicial Watch released Clinton State Department emails dating
from February 2009 that also call into question her statements about her
emails. Those emails contained more evidence of the battle between security
officials in the State Department, National Security Administration, Clinton
and her staff over attempts to obtain secure BlackBerrys.
Hillary Clinton has repeatedly stated that she believes that the 55,000
pages of documents she turned over to the State Department in December 2014
included all of her work-related emails. In response to a court order in
other Judicial Watch litigation, she declared under penalty of perjury that
she had “directed that all my emails on clintonemail.com in my custody that
were or are potentially federal records be provided to the Department of
State, and on information and belief, this has been done.” This new email
find is also at odds with her official campaign statement suggesting all “
work or potentially work-related emails” were provided to the State
Department. | r**********f
