that is what peter schweizer said. this is legitimate. >> one of your reporters is writing about a democrat and republican source provides research you've got to take that into account. it doesn't mean the research is wrong. >> that's right. and you've got to check it. >> at the same time as folks pointed out, peter schweizer has worked with george w. bush with sarah palin, his institute is funded by the billionaire family helped to bank roll ted cruz' campaign. does that as a democrat make him less credible? >> there is fishiness on both sides. that's part of what is going on here. this is the perfect place for this to come from for the clintons. for the clinton campaign to push back against because it is so fishy. that a conservative guy who works for the -- this is why this is not going to hurt her in the democratic primary. >> at all? >> i don't believe so. it's because of where this came from. i think it was smart for him to go to the "post" and "the new york times." they can still point, and i would point and oth

peter schweizer, author of "clinton cash." let's start with the phrase bret used you mention, the clinton blur, the mix of public and private and charity and government action. what's your point? >> the point is when former president choint clinton travels the world and spent time in the developing world in europe when he goes there, he's usually wearing several hats. when his wife was in public office he's the spouse of a very powerful public figure and head of a charity and also giving speeches and he's probably there with an entourage that includes foreign business men that have matters before the government in columbia or kazakhstan or whenever it may be. when you have a mix of public and private profit making backed by the government power your spouse has, i think it creates a dangerous cocktail as far as conflict of interest is concerned. >> you have an interesting point i want to put up on the screen that seems to demonstrate exactly the point you're making, between 2001 and 2012, bill clinton made 13 speeches, 13 for w

today we wanted to drill down into the controversy with peter schweizer author of the new book "clinton cash," for his first interview. but first for brett, who has the highlights. >> reporter: the dealings of bill and hillary clinton are part of what "clinton cash" author peter schweizer calls the clinton blur, diplomacy and personal interests all so interconnected it's easy to get lost. from lucrative construction deal given to hillary friends and family after the earthquake in haiti to $750,000 speeches to bill cln ton paid for by countries or in front of his then-secretary of state wife to mining deal, a friend of kazakh kazakhstan finalized with a trip with former president clinton. >> soon after that bill clinton got a huge donation, $31 million from frank to his charitable foundation, followed by a pledge to donate $100 million more. >> the company became youuranium one, that was sold to russia essentially controlled by vladimir putin and now control 20% of american uranium. ininvestigators who profited from that deal donated more than $140 million to the clinton foundation. but

some brock's group has put out a dossier on peter schweizer. thanks for joining us. >> thanks for having me on. >> it's not unusual for campaigns or part sans who support or oppose campaigns to try to shop oppo-research to try to get it to cover it as news. do you think this is different? >> i don't know if it's different, about you i would say it's disappointing that the "new york times" is chasing the same story as fox news. i think what we have here that might be unique is a convergence of millions of dollars being spent by republicans on opposition research, and a press corps that's so competitive on the clinton beat that they're looking for any anti-clinton crumb. what happens in the situation, which may be happening here, is that, i have no problem with the times vetting books. i've written books. that's not really unusual, but i think they didn't set the bar particularly high here, into you this author has a rap sheet, as you have already set up, as long as my arm. we did a 7,000-word report for media matters today. we found ten instance

so that's peter schweizer and his research institute they're back in the news.eleasing a new book on may 5th that's titled "clinton cash," the untold story of how and why foreign governments and businesses helped to make bill and hillary clinton rich. the book reportedly delves into the donations giving to the clinton foundation run by former press bill clinton while hillary clinton was secretary of state and it looks into whether or not secretary clinton did any resulting favors for the people making those donations. the author's conservative research group is already calling this their new book. you kind of see how this fits into a pattern of things, right? this is not a surprising turn. when you take a closer look at the organization and who is backing him, it is a who's who of big right-wing funders, including one of the guys behind the right wing media site breitbart.com for which he's previously written. also the billionaire family that is currently bankrolling ted cruz's presidential run. again, none of this is particularly surprising. he previously serve

author peter schweizer just spoke to us. we don't actually have that soundbite. ere has been a pattern of misbehavior. we actually do have the soundbite. peter: these 1100 donations that they never disclosed. they were supposed to disclose all of them. a simple requirement that president obama put in place as a condition for her to be appointed secretary of state. betty: he says there is no evidence but there is a pattern of behavior that he likens to insider trading among the clintons. lisa: because basically they are accepting donations to grant favors. a lot of people, this also follows the lack of disclosure with her e-mails. there is a feeling of a lack of transparency. alex: on the one and i would say it is somewhat politically explosive because it is a pattern, on the other end, do we really think hillary clinton is not going to be the nominee? odds are that she is going to be president. at this stage it would be hard to argue anything else. how explosive is this? betty: i think you put it right. as we near the opening bell let's get a check on where future

for "this week," cecilia vega, abc news, new york. >> and the author of "clinton cash," peter schweizer joins us now. thank you for joining us, peter. you know i was looking at the book jacket right here, and you say that here in the book jacket that your reporting raises serious and alarming questions about judgment of possible indebtedness to an array of foreign interests and ultimately a fitness for high public office. so, how does your reporting show that hillary clinton may be unfit for the presidency? >> well, i think the real question, george, is when you ever have an issue of the flow of funds to political candidates whether that's to their campaigns, whether that's to private foundations, whether that's to their spouse, is there evidence of a pattern of favorable decisions being made for those individuals, and i think the point that we make in the book is that there is a troubling pattern. there are dozens of examples of that occurring. some people, i think particularly the clinton camp, would say these are all coincidence. i don't think when you're talking about 12 instances,

debris has been removed, houses have been built and roads have been repaired, but to peter schweizer, for that that help there are certain projects that need more scrutiny. projects the clintons got behind. >> you would expect there to be high standards of transparency, high standards of accountable 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 anywhere you go, you'll see signs for digicel, the top telecom company. the reason they have such prominence may be that they have 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 that is 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 during that period of 2010 and 2011 he made a multimillion dollar

to peter schweizer for all of that help there are certain projects that need more scrutiny, projectsntons got behind. >> you would expect there would be high standards of transparency, high standards of accountability and have ethical standards that would prevent you from giving contracts or benefits to people who are putting money in your pocket. >> for instance the story of digucel. >> almost any place you go anywhere in hate he tee you-- haiti you will see digicel. the reason they have prominence is because they have friends in high places. >> they push for a wireless phone based money trancering system. a useful way to allow friends and relatives to send money into a ravaged nation. >> the problem is the chief beneficiary is a company called digicel owned by dennis o'brien. >> he is an irish billionaire who made his money in the telecom industry. >> shortly after they began reconstruction in haiti and began handing out contracts, sometime during that period of 2010 or 2011 he made a multi-million dollar contribution to the clinton foundation. >> there were also speeches. he gets

author peter schweizer gave his first interview this morning. we have more now. doug? >> hi. one of the more puzzling components of what critics say appears to be a quid pro quo of u.s. government favors for huge contributions to the clinton foundation is now the price of a speech by former president clinton climbed after his wife became secretary of state. in his book "clinton cash," peter schweizer explains how fees for speeches tripled in price up to $500,000. after mrs. clinton became secretary of state in 2009. the speeches were delivered in the same time frame that foreign governments sought and received favors that had appeared to be -- had to be approved i should say by the state department. schweizer repeated the claim on fox news sunday today. >> my answer is that's extremely troubling, especially the fact that you find it's a very extensive pattern. this is not one or two examples. 11 instances. one or two examples it's coincidence. when you have this many to me it's a trend. >> there's no proof of a quid pro quo or bribery. clinton supporters say the former first

she took action as secretary of state to help clinton foundation donors and added of the author peter schweizer it is impossible to view this allegation as anything other than just another in the many partisan conspiracy theories advanced in the clinton cash book. that may be undermined by the fact that schweizer isn't just going after clinton or democrats. he says his next project will target jeb bush. >> after hillary clinton she may face heat on another big topic, republican tray gowdy chair of the special house committee on benghazi declaring he wants her to testify either in may or june at the latest not just on the terror attacks, but also on what happened to her e-mail. >>> we will have much more on that book and its findings friday evening, 10:00 p.m. eastern time. please join me for fox news reporting the tangled clinton web. set the dvr. >>> new fox polls in the race for the white house. here is what some of our fox affiliates around the country are covering bolt. baltimore covering more protests over the death of an african-american man who died in police custody. some of the demonst

peter schweizer claims several foreign entities donated money to the foundation and gave bill clinton speaking fees in exchange for treatment from the state department when hillary clinton was serving as secretary of state. we have the latest details tonight and the clinton campaign reaction. our own ed henry is out on the campaign trail. she just tried to dismiss this today. is that going to fly, ed? >> reporter: sean, she really did try to dismiss it. and i just got off the phone with one of her top campaign advisers and says they will refute it one by one but today a general denial because she was here in new hampshire trying to focus on her middle class message after iowa last week. what is different about the allegations in this book, we certainly heard about foreign contributions to the clinton foundation. we've heard about speaking fees for former president bill clinton. a lot of this is publicly available and it's alleging something much deeper and there were official actions taken by hillary clinton as secretary of state to help the foreign donors to the cloentinton foundatio

and you talked to peter schweizer, who has written the new book clinton cash.ries and entities giving money to the foundation or bill clinton getting a big payoff for a speech and then things happening. what has been the fallout so far for hillary? >> well a couple of things we're hearing over the weekend from the clinton foundation that they are reviewing their tax returns and refiling tax returns. saying that there were mistakes made. so a concession there. just this morning, we're hearing from the clinton campaign ed henry just posted a memo obtained by fox -- and saying today we believe we turned a corner as the author himself, peter schweizer, conceded multiple times over the weekend that he left information out. they are painting an optimistic picture of -- >> shows over. >> fallout from all of this. it will lead to more questions that hillary clinton herself will have to answer. you know the whole defense has been there's not a shred of evidence. that anybody can point to. and schweizer, you know he laid out what he's laid out. >> peter schweizer said th

these are issues that have been happening with the clinton foundation long before peter schweizer startedooking into it. the numbers don't add up. one of the yesterday, 88% of the their expenditures go directly to their charitable programs. that is simply not true. as you mentioned they raked in 140 million. they only spent nine million on direct aid. the most of their money goes towards salaries, bonuses to close friends, folks tied to the clip ton campaign. gerri: here is a list of foundation spending where the money goes. 30 million on payroll. 8.7 million to rent and office expenses. 9.2 to conferences and meetings. fund-raising eight million. near live 8.5 million on travel. we of course know, adam the clintons are not taking a salary out of this, but they have something like 2,000 employees all over the world. and this, coming from charity navigator. they say, quote, that the clinton foundation does not meet their criteria does not meet their criteria as a organization that does charitable work. you know who else is in the group my friend? al sharpton's group. al sharpton's national

martha: we'll talk with peter schweizer coming up in a couple minutes on that note.u very much. >> you bet. bill: freedomworks fox news contributor. you were listening to hillary clinton and reflecting what the president said as a country we have some soul searching to do. how do you make sense of that? >> listen when you look at obama's policies, bill, the big government policies not helping these communities and not helping the country. we heard .2% of growth of gdp? listen we need to get people employed and be less reliant on the government. it is progressive policies where you have high taxes and regulations that are harming these communities, harming the country, and when people are not working, they're looking elsewhere to make a living. bill: dinneen, thank you. we're watching hillary clinton for headlines. if we get them, we'll bring you back to there as well. thanks. in a moment, martha, we'll talk to the former governor of maryland about how things are doing today. have they reached a turning point? that is what we need to know now. back to you in new york.

bush aid peter schweizer writes, shortly after the rosatom deal was announced bill clinton was in moscow for a particularly well compensated speech. he was paid $500,000 from another russian entity. and the book claims, however hawkish hillary might have been on other deals, this one sailed through. the russian purchase of uranium one was approved. the author asks, why the apparent reversal? could it be because shareholders involved in the transactions had transferred approximately $145 million to the clinton foundation or its initiatives? republicans are pouncing. >> look, she's going to have to be held accountable like all of us. >> reporter: but the clinton campaign strongly challenged the book today writing, hillary clinton was not involved in the state department's review of the sale to the russians and that nine agencies were involved. a government ethics expert agrees. >> there's no smoking gun. there's no evidence that she changed a policy based on the donations to the foundation. >> reporter: but he and other experts say that the book does establish the clintons did not live up

>> well, you know, this is peter schweizer's book, clinton's cache.or two. i don't have all the details but i do know he gone through meticulously detailed where the contributions come to from the foundation. it is unseemly. the constitution specifically says you can't take gifts from foreign governments. it is somehow skirtings or going around the law to accept them through your foundation? i think it is. it has a real sense of impropriety around i think it needs to stop. bill: one thing that needs to be nailed down, i don't know if you know the answer if you know you can offer it now did the speaking arrangement come before the alleged policy change or was it the other way around? >> i don't know the details. i read in "new york times" article yesterday, apparently bill clinton's speaking fees went up astronomically after she became secretary of state. he was speaking for $200,000 an hour and then began speaking for $500,000 an hour after she was approved being secretary of state. bill: i'm trying to figure out was he paid before the policy change o

some of the stuff was contained in the peter schweizer book. what's interesting about this story where the russians are cornering the world's supply of uranium is the story is in the "new york times" today. why is the "new york times" going after hillary clinton? by the way -- >> washington post? >> it's unvoidable. "the new york times" has been an ally of democrats. tomorrow at 10:00 p.m. it's the author of clinton cash bret baier hosts the tangled clinton web. you don't want to miss it. you will hear the details we have been unable to talk about. >>> breaking new poll numbers showing senator marco rubio is leading the gop pack. he's in a dead heat with hillary clinton. she's suffering from major trust issues with the american voter. look at the numbers. marco rubio, if the nomination was held today. the gop nomination held today. he's at the top of his game with 15% ahead of bush walker cruz paul and huckabee. >> it's within the margin of error between walker and cruz. it's a tossup. the big question -- this links to the story we told you abo

that is a big story that peter schweizer is broke.uckraker but detailed one with facts and information. ashley: anthony, you surprise ad bit of scandal related to the clintons? what? >> you will come up with better name for whitewater for this one i don't individual. this is what i'm worried about. she will not show up on fox anytime soon to answer these charges. very rare that the media outlets will question her about the charges. look what happened with the email situation. already yesterday's news. there is a toggle switch for the clintons they go into full teflon mode. she is thrilled this is coming out right now because in six or 12 months, if no one will nail her on it will go away. ashley: it will go away. >> i really believe that the republicans have to recognize something about her. she is beatable but may not be as beatable as people think because of the conglomeration around here. so i just republicans i am now, recognize the challenge. ashley: the clinton machine is well-oil. >> recognize the challenge if they want to beat

. >> reporter: today "the new york times" wrote about peter schweizer's upcoming book claiming foreign entities hired bill clinton to speak and donated to the family foundation to get favorable treatment from hillary clinton's state department. in new hampshire today she try to brush it off. >> well, we're back into the political season and, therefore, we will be subjected to all kinds of distraction and attacks, and i'm ready for that. i know that that comes, unfortunately, with the territory. >> reporter: the campaign says the example cited of free trade agreement for colombia and reconstruction for haiti were obama priorities not clinton's. but before she was confirmed as secretary of state, the white house insisted the clinton foundation dispose all foreign money for ethics approval while she held office, although in one case, algeria, it didn't. and bill clinton signed an agreement to disclose his speaking fees. hillary clinton resigned from the foundation when she announced for the white house, and last week after criticism the foundation said it will no longer accept money from

clinton cash is 186 pages of information about foreign donations to the clinton foundation by peter schweizer, a republican speech writing consultant to george w. bush and fellow of the hoover institution, "the new york times" preview of the book suggested that some news outlets, have agreements with the author to follow up on his reporting. today all three issued statements clarifying their position on that matter. we'll talk about that in a second. in new hampshire hillary was asked about the book and other allegations. mark: and when she was asked about it she called it a big distraction. my question for you, this whole thing. there's a lot to say about. let's start at the top. what do you think the story, the book and how it all comes together says about hillary as a target and the news media? mark: there's nobody who will be targeted like she is. for a variety of reasons. there's going to be an iron triangle between the so-called mainstream media, conservatives who produce books and movies and other opposition research, and then republican operatives. what you're going to have is you're

one thing the clinton camp trying to zero on, when pressed peter schweizer does not admit that he hast secretary of state hillary clinton signed off on the uranium one deal and that was part of fox news's show and there was no direct evidence she signed off on it. our own special acknowledged, others acknowledged several agencies have to sign off on this but they're not denying again that she did have a direct role. is there email somewhere showing that she signed off on it? we don't know, because we haven't seen that evidence. so the author is saying look, he doesn't have the direct evidence. he is trying to be honest about thatobut is not sure if there is more out there. the clinton camp is trying to seize on that to say nothing is proven here. bill: is the foundation scrambling to fix past mistakes? what is happening there, ed. >> reporter: over the weekend the foundation apologizing that they made mistakes. they didn't fully disclose foreign donors, for example. they are now admitting they have to fix tax returns for several years. that doesn't look good for the foundation. the ot

the first thing they are going to do, according to the clinton history, is attack peter schweizer. that's their playbook. they will start doing that. the second thing outlined in this memo ed henry was reporting on basically they are going to say this is public information, there's no news here that we're moving forward, it's old news and there's no scandal here and peter, the author, is simply working for the koch brothers where we've heard that before. the bottom line is this just because somebody has political motivations or a political point of view doesn't make allegations false. and i'm wondering if the clinton campaign is going to go after "the washington post," "the new york times" which schweizer's reporting, they say is true. those are going to be the two outlines. remember the guy who said benghazi -- he's now working for the clinton campaign and he's now using this strategy that he was using in the obama white house now and the campaign saying this is old news let's move forward if you're publicly available. >> so what do you think? any problems with the clintons or wha

how rich the clintons came in the post-white house years and exclusive look at peter schweizer's new book entitled, clinton cache. jenna: an american warship moves towards yemen today. an aircraft carrier, the uss theodore roosevelt, joining a group of warships in ths air already. these ships are prepared to block iranian rebels carrying weapons to. >> reporter: just as nuclear negotiations resume in geneva a serious military standoff between the u.s. and iranian warships is brewing in the waters off yemen. sources in the pent r pentagon tell fox news that the aircraft carrier, uss theodore roosevelt is shadowing the iranian convoy and launching aircraft including fa-18 hornets to fly manned reconnaissance of the estimated seven to nine ships in the iranian convoy. the iranian convoy consists of freighters suspected of care yessing weapons to houthi rebels in yemen and is being escorted by iranian warships. >> and one of the concerns that we have with iranian behavior in terms of the destablizing impact they're having on the broader region, is the fact that they continue to supply we

that they question the credibility of the author of this book, "clinton cash," peter schweizer.ubstantial, going down the his of things she will eventually have to directly answer questions, right? >> i'm not sure. because they emit this sort of fog of denial until it's gone on for a while and then they say it's old news. so there's an excluded middle there that you're pointing to. one of the things that elections do for a democracy is they deprive the voters of the right to complain. if at the end of this we put them back in power, two for the price of one, as he said in '92, and it's true this time around the country has no right to complain because there will be no buyer's remorse. we knew everything. >> so you're saying that potentially she is the perfect vessel to talk about trust in politics? >> no. i'm saying that the great strength of the clintons most exemplified by her husband and now by her also is the absolute inability to feel -- there's tremendous that comes from that and she's showing it. >> i think a lot has changed in the '90s and they are not going to be able t

so i think peter schweizer, the author of this book bull a the donations to the clinton founddation willo after him personally. go ahead. lori: fred, interesting your strategy mentioning dealing with the questions and how they conduct business and campaign, chelsea clinton speaking publicly about the foundation promising continued transparency? is that game changer in terms of their strategy? bringing her out. she used to be hands off with the press. the press couldn't go there ever. does that change things now? >> she is in lieu of her mother and father. that is why she is there. she can say, well i don't know anything about these contributions to the foundation. and, their legality and whether they were publicly released or not. she can play as if she was not involved in that. maybe she wasn't, i don't know. but they don't want to put hillary out there because there is not a good answer for this. lori: so all of this has actually had impact on the polls, for hillary and her popularity. she has drop ad few notches. but in the same poll, interesting marco rubio, senator from florida, act

a lot, what "the new york times" did, by the way judy's old publication, they took the book peter schweizer's book, expanded on it. what we have done, fox news channel's done bret baier's report expanded even further, what "the times" says this, the russians now have 1/5 of all the u.s. uranium sources as a result of deals smoothed out by the clinton foundation, by bill clinton in particular, possibly with the help, possibly with the help of hillary clinton at the state department. what bret baier found out that number may be half. half of the u.s. uranium supply controlled by the russians who may be selling uranium to the iranians who may be using it to build bombs against us. melissa: let me break it down even further. if you look around, the russians cornered the market on uranium right now. this is a disaster for us. we have a net importer of uranium. we only produce 20% of what we need. they have taken control of a company that has 20% of our supply. >> this might be a stupid question but did she personally intervene? melissa: here we go. because you say, how does something like this --

she he joined by author peter schweizer with all the information. that will be 7:00 p.m. eastern time. that will be great. >>> another story we've been following for some time here, lumber liquidators facing possible criminal charges. the company revealing the department of justice is seeking criminal charges for its imported products. impending legal battle comes as hardwood flooring retailer reported a first-quarter loss amid allegations that chinese laminate flooring contains high levels of formaldehyde that can harm consumers. with more we have a former federal prosecutor. welcome to the show john. apparently from what i'm reading there is some suggestion this company broke, violated something called the lacy act. tell us about that. what does it mean? >> this is like a searing missile coming into a cop. what the company revealed for the first time is that the government is investigating whether or not it was importing wood products illegally, which the lacy law prohibits, including lan nate wood products with too much formaldehyde which is carcinogen. what the compan

aides stepped up their campaign to try to discredit the author of the book "clinton cash" after peter schweizer appeared on two sunday talk shows. >> this warrants investigation. >> reporter: clinton spokesman brian fallon claiming, "we believe we turned a corner as the author himself conceded multiple times on national tv that his conspiracy theories lack any evidence." that's a reference to schweizer acknowledging that the deal was approved not just by the state department. >> nine separate agencies. >> reporter: and there's no direct proof clinton was active in the process. >> you don't have a single piece of evidence that she was involved in this deal that she sent a memo to the person -- the state department representative who was on this committee and said hey, we want to approve the uranium sale? >> right. i'm a journalist. i don't have access to government records or certainly don't have access to her e-mails. >> reporter: on top of clinton not turning over her e-mail server rand paul today declared there should have been a much stronger firewall around former president bill clinton's f

. >> reporter: the new book by arthur peter schweizer, "clinton cash" is due out may 5th. as well as to the former president personally through speaking fees and the book goes a major step further by alleging that as secretary of state hillary clinton took official actions to benefit those donors. >> we're back into the political season and, therefore we will be subjected to all kinds of distraction and attacks and i'm ready for that. i know that that comes, unfortunately, with the territory. >> reporter: meanwhile, at the white house, josh earnest was pressed about whether he can confirm or deny there's any ethical violations. >> i think there's been a lot of accusations made about this but not a lot of evidence. >> reporter: this is not the first time that the clintons have sought comfort from new hampshire after losing the iowa caucuses in 2008, hillary attacked false hopes being pushed by then president obama. >> i don't want to see us fall backwards. >> reporter: bill clinton bit his lip and declared himself a comeback kid in 1982 after a series of personal scandals a
