WASHINGTON (AP) – The board of the Clinton Foundation says it will continue accepting donations from foreign governments but only six nations, a move aimed at insulating presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton from controversies over the charity’s reliance on millions of dollars from abroad.
Clinton resigned from the foundation’s board last week amid criticism over the charity’s ties to foreign governments.
Foundation officials said Wednesday night that future donations will only be allowed from the governments of Australia, Canada, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway and the United Kingdom. All have supported the charity’s health, poverty and climate change programs.
Other nations could continue participating in a subsidiary program, the Clinton Global Initiative, which doesn’t require direct donations.
The foundation also will begin disclosing its donors every quarter instead of annually.
