"the wall street journal" is reporting that the former president bill clinton's foundation set up a financial commitment that benefitted a for profit power company partly owned by a wealthy divorcee, julie mcmahon. the foundation tells nbc news there was no wrong doing. it tells the journal she and clinton are family friends, a clinton spokesperson says the former president counts many foundation participants as friends. the clinton campaign for hillary clinton had no comment. back to you. >>> peter, thank you. as we mentioned we'll talk with donald trump about those tapes when he joins us live. lots to talk about. >> certainly. let's
