but to peter schweitzer, there are certain projects that need more scrutiny.ot behind. you would expect there to be high standards of transparency, high standards of accountability and ethical standards that would prevent you from giving contracts or concessions or benefits to people who are putting money in your pocket. >> for instance, there's the story of digicel. >> almost anyplace you go, you'll see signs of digicel, the top telecom company. the reason they have such prominence in haiti may be that they have high friends in high places. they allowed friends and relatives to send money into the ravaged nation. >> the problem is the chief beneficiary from the clinton's initiative is a company called digicel owned by dennis o'brien. >> o'brien is an irish billionaire who made his money in the telecom industry. >> shortly after the clintons began reconstruction in haiti and began handing out contracts, sometime in that period of 2010 and 2011 he mad a multimillion dollar contribution to the clinton foundation. >> there were also speeches. >> bill clinton gets

i'm a friend and admirer of peter schweitzer. stephanopoulos questioned whether peter had a partisan interest in the book because he had worked for four months in the bush administration. when he was the communications director for the clinton white house and the communications director for the 1992 clinton campaign. is it fair to say he has a partisan interest in defending hillary clinton? looking at the quotes it seems like he did. >> that was a question some were raising even at the time. i mean just sort of an irony of you know stephanopoulos of all people raising that question with schweitzer and now, howie, tonight it -- it's a bombshell he was donating to the very foundation he was cross-examining this author on without disclosing it. i mean it's obviously big. eric wimp el of "the washington post" out tonight with a piece calling it a very serious transgression. what is your take? how bad is it? >> such a bombshell that george stephanopoulos had to withdraw as abc's moderator next year in the debate. this blunder by steph

you had peter schweitzer on for 45 minutes last friday. he was followed up saturday and sunday. have not seen any follow-up on his defense, which has done great work. to argue the speculative nation of the investigation, i do not think it presents any conflict. this is a mean of getting hillary, as in earlier caller said. i do not see any conflict. host: casey in westminster, massachusetts. caller: good morning. i do think there is a conflict of interest. he wears his london to the clintons -- he wears his loyalty to the clintons on his sleeve. i am glad he "recused" himself from the future gop debate. i just want to send a word of caution to all republicans -- don't take the bait with the far left liberal media types. we saw what happened with candy crowley. if you turn on the news, you know you can just see the slant in the mainstream media. it slants totally left. host: a tweet, "why is this even a new story?" rick "the foundation is different from the campaign." daniel, here in washington, d.c. you're on the "washington journal." caller: good morning. i do not think it is a

look i think that peter schweitzer has been clear that there are a lot of things in this book that lead you to believe something unseemly, untoward is happening. there is no smoking gun and the clintons are great at not leaving smoking guns behind. >> i had peter height or last week. he acknowledged as he has before that he doesn't have a smoking gun. he lays out a circumstantial case about big money and donors and speaking fees. and then you have to connect the dots. it's not the same as saying he has no fact. >> no. it's not. this is going to be a systematic bit of evidence that you're going to see used against hillary clinton from the beginning of this campaign to when it ends, if she end up in the white house. you'll continue to see people lay out the fact talk about the different relationship that the clinton foundation has. it's not just about giving money. it's about the types of interactions that there are and the clintons are going to combat that with look at all the great things we did, and look at what she did as secretary of state. these thing are separate. but the point is

he was calling peter schweitzer on his partisan ties at a time when he had partisan ties, clearly, if he's giving still giving money to the clintons or still has ties to the clintons. and then going on with jon stewart, and not disclosing. i mean disclosing it by the way, on that last bit, where he apologizes disclosing it would have completely undermined any credibility he had to even report on this story. >> right, but at least he would have disclosed it and not withheld it. mercy, can republicans trust george stephanopoulos to be fair? >> it's interesting, because senator marco rubio this morning on fox with chris wallace basically said you know, i've always viewed him as a fair credible journalist. but when you're looking at especially the conservatives on the right, they're saying this is questionable. i mean you go back to the 2012 -- >> do you think it's questionable? >> absolutely! you worry about the fact that will he be able to even give hillary clinton a fair interview, an objective interview? you know it makes everyone very concerned on the right. you're starting to see th

they are confronting this to try to rebut "clinton cash," the book by peter schweitzer and to try to get ahead of these continuing criticisms. this is what mike huckabee had to say certainly alluding to the clinton foundation in hope, arkansas, the birthplace of both mike huckabee and bill clinton, the man from the original man from hope. huckabee becoming the next republican to launch his campaign today. here's what he had to say. >> i don't have a global foundation or a taxpayer-funded paycheck to live off of. i don't come from a family dynasty, but a working family. i grew up blue collar not blue blood. >> and so this is the kind of thing the republicans are going to keep hammering away at. and legitimate news media stories, all the major organizations, including our own, cynthia mcfadden's interview, raising questions, peter schweitzer acknowledges now that there's no smoking gun, but he has become sort of like an opposition research playbook for any news organization taking off from "clinton cash," the book. >> i think, andrea very few people who don't already have an opinion of

chris wallace asked peter schweitzer.acht, because news core contributed to the krclinton foundation. >> you seem more at ease than even george stefan op lus. >> does this change the interviews seeing that george had a chance to interview him? >> it is not a surprise that georhe had been there. he was offering fair and balanced coverage of the issues. can you expect that when he is someone who has donated to what was essentially a slush fund for a future and former presidential candidate, someone who he is so closely tied to in his career? >> he owes more to the clintons thand luca brodzy did to the godfather. you can't expect him to be fair on these debates. >> i for the most part thinks he has been a very nice guy. he seems sometimes neutral. does this not play into one of the most baffling things when out of nowhere, george stephanopoulous says, what about contributions and then we are off against war. >> hecity said he wanted to defund planned parenthood. it was a legitimate issue. this idea that the clinton foundatio

tom: joining us is peter schweitzer.efore i start growing you want you to know i have given nothing to the clinton foundation. >> good to know. >> i haven't given money to anybody. this is all blown up and now. what is your reaction? >> i was stunned when i heard about these donations. it is so reckless that if my research had come to me and said we would investigate whether george that an awful is said and to the clinton foundation i would have said no way. it is a very troubling issue because it goes to the inherent issue with journalism which is you want to have the agenda be the search for truth not a hidden agenda george stephanopoulos not only giving $75000 but giving a lot of his time to the clinton global initiative raising all kinds of questions about his impartiality and what his motives were in that interview. tom: a lot of opera as i say we all know george stephanopoulos was a clinton guy. is there any surprise? as a journalist you are more concerned about the fact that it is not ethical. >> for me it was he

i think george should have disclosed when he didinterviews with peter schweitzer talked about the issuehould have disclosed disclosed. i know george very well. the problem he had is very simple. by 1998 or 1999 he was estranged from the clintons bill an hillary was of the coverage of the lewinsky matter. i think this was his way of trying to get access again by making rather generous do nation s s. i think the fact that he diz not disclose is a very very serious violation. john do you think he should disqualify himself? >> i think he is disqualified. i think the public has to look at this as yet another reason to say i don't like any of the media. i don't trust him. you know who looks good to this? fox news. they're the alternative to the main networks who are corrupt. they're in bed with the establishment politicians. >> i knew george in the clinton administration and i worked with him. my comments are based on the totality of my observation and experience. >> i isle take care of that. stephanopolous is one of the very ambitious people. he stabbed his boss in the back. he claimed in hi

including senators ted cruz and rand pal paul are condemning stephanopoulos and questioning peter schweitzer thank you for joining us. >> in his book "clinton cash," he connects foreign payments to clinton foundation with timely changes in state department policy under hillary clinton. stephanopoulos was tough. >> do you have any evidence a crime may have been committed? there is no evidence at all that hillary clinton was directly involved in this decision. do you have any evidence that she intervened in this issue? >> on fox news senator rand paul weighed in with this. >> he's out interviewing the guy who is exposing the clinton foundation and then not revealing that he's a donor to the clinton foundation. there is a direct conflict of interest there. >> it's also political low-hanging fruit. fair or not allegations of media bias fire up party activists, republicans and democrats. and party leaders also always try to fan the flames, as republicans are doing now. >> abc apparently thus far isn't all that concerned about making sure that it's reporters are trustworthy, making sure that it's

>> yeah it's the question that peter schweitzer raises in the book asking whether foreign individualsng donations to our campaigns were nevertheless able to curry favor with bill or hillary by making contributions to the foundation or engageing bill to speak. so a whole new host of revelations in that regard today that hadn't been disclosed by the clinton kamcampaign. but it's complicated. you have to invest some time to appreciate what those stories are all about. you have to be able to reduce it to 20 seconds. >> not on your show. >> you're nice to say that. >> you going to be talking about it this weekend? >> i will indeed. >> tune into "smerconish" 9:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. on saturday. michael, thank you. good to have you on as always. >>> coming up next a cnn drone, and yes, i said that right, we have drones taking these phenomenal pictures. a cnn drone offers a new view of that widespread devastating oil spill in santa barbara and the stain left on its popular california beach. this as cnn takes a closer look at the oil company responsible for that pipeline disaster. we're also a

he was a very harsh interrogator of peter schweitzer the author of "clinton cash." he had an obligation to say, i personally contributed $75,000 to the clinton foundation. >> a lot of republicans have taken this and run with it. my question is actually also on the dem side. looking ahead, if george stephanopoulos and he covers politics extremely well but if he gets an interview with a high-level democrat, not hillary clinton, if you're george stephanopoulos are you going to go out of your way to prove you're in the in camp clinton? >> you and i are on the same wavelength. he's said i'm opting out of the republican debates. he hasn't said anything relative to the fall. there are republicans who are calling for him to quote/unquote sit this one out. that's what one lawmaker said. as i was reading the stories, brooke like you i said to myself maybe it's the democrats who should be hoping that he sits this one out because george stephanopoulos if you remember in the '08 cycle, he was a very direct questioner of hillary clinton. so i don't know that you want to be the de

interviewed the author of this very controversial book "clinton cash" and really grilled the officer, peter schweitzer. he could have taken that moment to say, i was a clinton foundation donor. he didn't and i think that's the reason that the washington free beacon pursued the story and the reason why the story has legs in other media. >> let's talk more about that in a minute but take me to the moment where you all found out about this. how exactly did you all find out this donation even happened? >> sure. well it's simple investigative reporting. one of my reporters had composed a spreadsheet of all the foundations donors and another reporter was spending his off hours going through it. he just happened to see that george stephanopoulos was in the list so he contacts me and says i found this out, what do i do? my first thought was, well has he disclosed it? we did the research it turned out george had not. my second thought was well, we're going to write it up as a straight news piece but first go to abc news for comment. >> let's pick up there in a minute. but are you surprised that nobody had seen
