A CBS News investigation has found that at least one foreign company with close ties to its government has been giving generously to the foundation run by Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton.

 

Since its founding, the Clinton Foundation has invested millions each year for work in fighting AIDS and empowering women, but its recent uptick in donations from foreign governments has been raising questions about the potential influence on Hillary Clinton, as she gets ready to run for president.

 

The foundation has raised at least $42 million from foreign governments - and according to an analysis by CBS News - at least $170 million from foreign entities and individuals.

 

One donor - Rilin Enterprises- pledged $2 million in 2013 to the Clinton Foundation's endowment. The company is a privately-held Chinese construction and trade conglomerate and run by billionaire Wang Wenliang, who is also a delegate to the Chinese parliament. Public records show the firm has spent $1.4 million since 2012, lobbying Congress and the State Department. The firm owns a strategic port along the border with North Korea and was also one of the contractors that built the Chinese embassy in Washington.

After weeks of scrutiny over how the Clinton Foundation disclosed its donors, the organization is publicly admitting to the "mistakes" it made when reporting its cash flow.

 

"[Y]es, we made mistakes, as many organizations of our size do," the Clinton Foundation's acting CEO, Maura Pally, wrote in a statement posted to their website Sunday, "but we are acting quickly to remedy them, and have taken steps to ensure they don't happen in the future."

 

Though reports over the charity's acceptance of foreign donations have been emerging over the last few weeks, the expected May 5th publication of "Clinton Cash" a deep-dive by journalist Peter Schweizer into the philanthropy's finances and its ties to the Clinton political machine have pushed their donor disclosure policies into the spotlight once again.

 

Reuters recently reported that the Clinton Foundation had inaccurately reported various government donations to the IRS. The organization told the news organization that it expected to refile some 990 tax forms because of these errors.
