algeria's 2010 donation appears to violate the very rules the clinton foundation agreed to. the foundation itself issued a statement last night appearing to admit a major breech to the rules about what they call an unsolicited donation. quote, as the clinton foundation did with aldo nations it received for earthquake relief entire amount was distributed through haiti. this donation was publically disclosed on the web site however the state department should have been formally informed. the latest donation raises more questions as mrs. clinton considers another run for president. it would be uncomfortable at best if hillary krinclinton had to make tough choices who had or does give donations. >> when did they find out about the donation and why did they not alert the state department? >> donation was made in 2010 for asian earthquake relief. why they didn't go through the rules as they should to notify the state department they don't have to. they said they should have let the state department know whether it was an overite site or intentional. we have no way of knowing. >> le

why are the governments donating to the clinton foundation. potential ethical problem and the obama administration urged hillary clinton if she's going to be secretary of state to ban these donations to the foundation from foreign governments because they created this perception whether a conflict or not creates a perception of a conflict of interest when dealing with these fore wrin governments for work. now, we face this same conflict with her. iet helps bring a profile, can traveling they're talking about, press getting out of this. >> this is a phony charity and a warehouse operation. it's a luxury travel service they have spent $70 million for bill and hillary. it is interesting over half of the contributions over $5 million come from foreign country that's would be prohibited from giving to a u.s. political campaign. they're trying to buy favors with someone perceived to be a future president. >> we have been speaking about potential problems to the jeffrey epstein case you say 17 times he was on this convicted pedophile's plane? >> corre

it is the bill, hillary and chelsea clinton foundation.he name has been expanded from the old clinton foundation name. they wouldn't take donations from foreign governments when she was secretary of state but once she left office juan they said, okay. bring it on and they're taking donations from countries like the ones i just mentioned. do you have a problem with that? >> yeah. i think it's rank influence peddling for someone running for president to somehow now be open to back door donations from foreign countries, given prominence and influence in american life. she's being asked questions, for example, about the keystone x.l. pipeline. guess what? she's taken donations for that foundation from the company that's promoting the pipeline. so this would appear to put her in a very difficult ethical situation. i think it's beyond the point of saying ethically dubious. i think it's unethical. jon: the kingdom of saudi arabia has given between $10 million and $25 million since the creation of the foundation in 1999. >> look. i think juan is r

the clinton foundation has disclosed that it accepted millions of dollars in donations from foreign governmentshile hillary clinton was secretary of state, including one donation from violated the obama administration's ethics rules. the donations were first reported last week by the "washington post" which raised questions about a potential conflict of interest. now, according to "the post" some of the donations came to countries with complicated military and financial relations with the u.s. including kuwait qatar and oman but a donation made by algeria which has come under scrutiny. in 2010 the clinton foundation accepted a $500,000 foundation from the algerian government from its earthquake relief in haiti. the foundation admits it should have but did not seek approval from the state department before accepting that money. joining me now with more on this nbc news deputy political editor. we said it's potentially problematic here. what is the major concern or question that could affect hillary clinton if she decides to run for president? >> well i think, tamron, that this story really matte

this was a one-time specific donation to help haiti and algeria had not donated to the clinton foundationd has not since. but let's be real real clear about this, i have a list of countries that donated to the foundation while clinton was secretary of state. they may raise a few eyebrows at home kuwait, qatar, oman complicated relationships all. obviously, less so for australia, norway and the dominican republic. there was also a lot of saudi money poured into that foundation during that time but obviously, investigations like this will continue whether clinton one runs for the white house or not, andrea. >> no question. kevin, thank you. >> you bet. >> kennedy what do you think about that? do you think people really care about these ethical questions? the clintons have had dirt on their face for a long time, sketchy cattle futures issue whitewater, people don't seem to care. >> no nothing really seems to sick because no one's really surprised by it. but it really does bring up some crazy ethical questions and my question is if they're not trying to curry favor, what are you doing with th

i would like to point out that when our paper, the post, went to the clinton foundation and asked these things the foundation answered. we have to keep in mind that in the clip you just read from the story, there was an agreement between the obama administration and the foundation about what it can and cannot do. as you read, only one of those donations was in violation of that agreement, but still it will require them to explain what that agreement entails, and what kind of influence it had, if any. i take issue with the word lobbying because she is not lobbing for anything, she can't write legislation, she had no say over laws, but foreign governments. >> let's call it influence. it's influence, it's meetings with the state department. >> for the record, the state department is sticking with hillary saying she is okay on this. thank you. great conversation tonight, we'll be right back after this. the name your price tool. she's not to be trusted. kill her. flo: it will save you money! the name your price tool isn't witchcraft! and i didn't turn your daughter into a rooster. she just l

"lincoln bedroom." the clintons have always had a fondness for money and for campaign money, for philanthropic money. they desire to be well-funded. in a campaign context, that often leads them to be blind to where the money is coming from. that is historically true as well. >> i don't care what foreign countries you take it from. and again, the foundation does great work. people should give money to the clinton foundation but to take money at this point from these countries is a huge mistake. if hillary clinton is not president, i think she will look back on this and say, why? why did i take the money from the foundation? >> as you recall, one of the things she did as secretary of state was to try to put a stop to this. these foreign governments are get -- are good at getting around the rules to get access to her. >> the other thing it tells us, yet again, people

we should look at what the clinton foundation does. i'm sure that there has to be some good work in there that they do. i know that they get hiv medications out to people help african farmers. the other hand they deal with carbon offsets. you bay and they plant a tree somewhere, which i'm not okay with, 'cause as you know, i hate trees. there are too many of them. i'm joking. i like trees. of course they are shady. >> can i make one quick point? >> yes. >> this whole i didn't know or we didn't know line is total bs. someone hands you a check for $500,000 and it comes from a foreign government, whoever is accepting that check has to know that that check probably shouldn't go into the fund. they are going to have to find some way. >> this is what i don't get, is this a foundation or a candidacy? >> it was a foundation. now using it as the same shell for the candidacy. mixed funds. you can't do that on wall street. can't use investor money ifto go speculate with. >> the question -- questions about foreign money influencing the clintons' p

adding with other global charities the clinton foundation receives of individuals, organizations and governments from all the world over because our programs are improving the lives of millions. ron fortier is one person who has a tough column on what he calls, quote, a stupid and sleazy clinton decision to lift a ban on accepting money from foreign governments. we'll talk about that ahead on "morning joe." >>> let's go around the country and look at some of the stories making the front pages across america. from "usa today," boston's mayor tells daredevils to chill out and stop jumping out of windows. "the seattle times" reports that facebook has moved more than 500 employees to washington state from silicon valley. a new office apparently has room for 2,000 people. >>> from "the charleston post and currier," pressure got more intense on the president of south carolina state university to resign. that's amid a financial crisis. a lawmaker has called for the school's president's ouster. and the "mississippi sun herald." herald." afroman allegedly punched a female on the stage in bilo

and the operation of the clinton foundation with all this, as we say, the appearance of perhaps quid pro quo corruption, all of this demonstrates that strength. i don't think they care. >> peter, what about this idea of the tin ear that juan williams is talking about in that interview, to donations that look sleazy and stupid. you know this happens with the coffeys, the lincoln bedroom, the lipo group charlie tree and then the chinese, and it's kind of like -- >> you would think you would have learned, right? a lot of the contributions they have accepted now had been banned by a voluntary agreement during her tenure of secretary of state because they recognized it would be a conflict of interest. president obama said we can't have that when you're working for the state department and once she left, they started taking the contributions again. i think it feeds within a larger concern, even within the democratic party, the elizabeth warren wing, that this is a moneyed democratic operation rather than a populist democratic operation. >> before you start kimberley, the bill hillary and c

presidential candidates not so beholden to wall street and big money influence. >> what is the clinton foundationout all of this, john? >> i talked to a spokesman not too long ago and they deny any potential conflict of interest here with the possible hillary clinton presidential run telling fox news that the clinton foundation is a philanthropy, period. they receive the sport of individuals, organizations and governments all over the world because their programs are improving the lives of millions of people. the $2 billion figure is a bit misleading. a lot of that money is in pledges that haven't fully come in yet and a large chunk of the money went directly to support health programs and to build the presidential library. and bill for full disclosure news corporation which used to be the parent company of fox news has also contributed to the clinton foundation. >> john roberts out of atlanta today. 27 past. >> so the president is about to take the podium a couple of minutes from now. this is the last day of the summit on violent extremism. it's stirred up controversy so we're going to take you

is a career violation of an agreement which was made by the clinton administration and the clinton foundation administration. how can that not be news? 31 seconds on cbs. stuart: that is all you got. stuart: are they protecting hillary clinton? is obvious charge of conflict of interest. it just protecting her? circling the wagons? >> it they will not only protect her as a protected barack obama but kneecap anyone who dares go against the other one. liquid they did to rudy guiliani in the comments he made, in four days 21 minutes of coverage from the same networks. 21 minutes from nbc alone on rudy guiliani but zero on this. stuart: you think the established networks want hillary to be the candidate? there are a large number of people on the left to want elizabeth warren. >> in 2007 i recall being in the greenroom on the show and i was with a couple of democratic pollsters or consultants and asked them this is october of 2007, who is going to win the primary? one of the my won't mention said to me said you for conservatives have got to accept the reality. hillary clinton will be the next presi

if you look of the clinton foundation, it is not the most charitable foundation. they are looking for charity, they would probably look elsewhere. it is basically a donation and kind for hillary clinton. and for hillary clinton's upcoming election. i think that raises a lot of ethical questions, a lot of campaign finance questions, and things that i hope we will get to the bottom with. we need more cooperation from hillary clinton. steven: as you look into this what are your questions? daniel: what to the people expected return. what is the foundation doing. how has the foundation been financing their own lavish lifestyle. last year, they paid 800 thousand dollars alone for travel. for what? is that where charity is for? there are numerous questions on those lines. steven: our guest is daniel halper. first up is mike from ohio. good morning. welcome to the conversation. caller: good morning, steve. as i think back on this, i remember butler whose spilled the beans under fdr. hello? steven: yes, we can hear you. caller: he spilled the beans so-called. that's where

clinton. reports claim her foundation accepted millions from foreign governments while she was secretary of staten is stuart varney. how big a deal is this? >> hillary clinton has money trouble in three different areas. this is one of those areas. it's not the amount of money that's flowed in, it's where the money comes from. item one, money came in to the foundation from foreign governments. that raises the possibility of a conflict of interest. if she became president clinton would the decisions he makes about foreign governments be about the money she got from them. it's poernl conflict of interest. if she becomes president will she be influenced by the foreign governments that gave her money in the past. >> remember when the lincoln bedroom was lease it looks like you give them money and you get stuff. >> item two, she has received millions of dollars coming into the foundation from wall street from the big banks. that is an embarrassment from a democrat especially in the primaries when elizabeth warren who is the archenemy of wall street may be running against hillary clinton. that's item tw
