The crown prince of Bahrain attempted to arrange a meeting with Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in 2009 by using his connections to the Clinton Foundation. That's according to newly released emails between Clinton's State Department aide Huma Abedin and former Bill Clinton aide Doug Band, who was helping run the Foundation at the time.

Salman and the Kingdom of Bahrain had been generous donors to the Clinton Foundation and the Clinton Global Initiative. Judicial Watch notes that Salman had established a scholarship program for the Clinton Global Initiative in 2005.

Abedin eventually wrote back that the meeting between the crown prince and the secretary of state had been set up through "official channels."
