WASHINGTON (AP) – The State Department says it has no plans to review previously undisclosed donations to a branch of the Clinton Foundation.

Some say the unreported private donations to the Clinton Health Access Initiative raise questions about potential conflicts of interest during former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton’s time in office.

But State Department spokesman Jeff Rathke said Thursday that private contributions would not have been reviewed even if they had all been disclosed under the terms of ethics agreements Clinton signed before she took office. Only donations from foreign governments were subject to vetting.

Rathke said the department is aware of no evidence to support allegations of wrongdoing and would not “make a retroactive judgment about items that were not submitted” during Clinton’s tenure.
