Bernie Sanders Says Hillary Clinton Should Cut Ties With Clinton Foundation If Elected
"She should cease all operations, all contact, with the Clinton Foundation," the Senator said.

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) says Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton ought to cut all ties with the Clinton Foundation if elected in November.
"I would certainly suggest that as president of the United States she should cease all operations, all contact, with the Clinton Foundation," Sanders said in an interview on NBC's "Meet the Press" that aired Sunday.
Sanders, a Democratic primary opponent who has endorsed Clinton, joins a growing chorus of voices urging the former secretary of state to cut ties with the foundation. Last week, The New York Times editorial board said Clinton ought to distance herself from the nonprofit corporation established by her husband, former President Bill Clinton, that focuses on fighting childhood obesity, addressing the effects of global climate change and creating economic growth. The foundation has faced increased scrutiny in recent months following allegation of ethical impropriety surrounding Clinton's tenure as secretary of state.
...Sanders criticized Clinton's ties to the foundation. He told CNN that he was troubled by the fact that "a sitting secretary of state and a foundation run by her husband collects many, many dollars from foreign governments – governments which are dictatorships."
