Amid reports that donors to the Clinton Foundation met Hillary Clinton at the state department when she was the secretary of state, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has alleged that the “scandal” is a “threat to the foundation of democracy”.
“She (Hillary Clinton) is bought-and-paid-for by the special interests. This corruption relates closely to another corruption scandal that strikes at the heart of our Democracy. Every day more and more alarming facts come out,”
70-year-old Trump said at an election rally in Austin, Texas.
“The scandal I speak of is the State Department’s Pay-for-Play Scandal under Hillary Clinton. If our Secretary of State can be bought, or bribed, or sell or trade government favors, then the whole American system is threatened,” he said.
“It is a threat to the foundation of Democracy itself. This is what happens in a Third World country - it’s the failed conditions people flee when they come to America,” Trump alleged.
