To the editor:
Hillary Clinton should disclose the names of all donors to the Clinton Foundation, including those who donate to a Canadian partnership with the foundation.
It was disheartening to read in the Aug. 3 Time magazine, the article 'Game of Thrones,” regarding the Clinton Foundation that, 'The foundation says it has disclosed the names and aggregate amounts of most of its 300,000-plus donors since its founding in 2001; the identities of donors to a Canadian partnership with the foundation, however, remain secret.”
Most of the donors to the foundation have been disclosed. Whose names have been withheld? Who donated to the Canadian partnership of the Clinton Foundation and why are the identities of these donors 'secret?” Why isn't the press asking Clinton about this secrecy and asking her what other entities have been created to benefit the Clinton Foundation without full disclosure? Why doesn't Clinton disclose the names of all donors to the foundation, whether the donations are given directly or through affiliates as a matter of candidate good will?
Voters have a right to know and voters deserve to be trusted with this information by Clinton.
