Clinton Author Admits He Doesn’t Have Evidence

April 27, 2015 at 9:38 am EDT By Taegan Goddard 82 Comments

“In back-to-back interviews over the past 24 hours, conservative author Peter Schweizer admits he doesn’t have direct evidence that Hillary Clinton intervened to assist individuals and entities because they donated large sums of money to the Clinton Foundation,” NBC News reports.

Said Schweizer: “No, we don’t have direct evidence. But it warrants further investigation because, again… this is part of the broader pattern. You either have to come to the conclusion that these are all coincidences or something else is afoot.”

Schweizer is the author of the new book, Clinton Cash.
