Progressive Group Wants Hillary Clinton To Give Back Foundation Funding Over Keystone

A progressive group is targeting Hillary Clinton over what it calls a "conflict of interest" when it comes to the Keystone XL pipeline. Clinton, a likely 2016 Democratic presidential contender, is the subject of a new petition from CREDO Action, a liberal group that organizes online campaigns. CREDO is pressuring Clinton to give back money that the Clinton Foundation has accepted from foreign governments for its philanthropic work. Both the Wall Street Journal and the Washington Post have recently reported on the foundation's acceptance of millions of dollars from seven different foreign countries, including nations like the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia and Oman. Credo is most upset about a donation from Canada's Department of Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development, a government office that has been promoting the construction of the Keystone XL pipeline.
