A joint investigation by the Washington Examiner
and the nonprofit watchdog group Judicial Watch found that former President
Clinton gave 215 speeches and earned $48 million while his wife presided over
U.S. foreign policy, raising questions about whether the Clintons fulfilled
ethics agreements related to the Clinton Foundation during Hillary Clinton's
tenure as secretary of state.
According to documents obtained by Judicial Watch
and released Wednesday in an ongoing Freedom of Information Act case, State
Department officials charged with reviewing Bill Clinton's proposed speeches
did not object to a single one.
Some of the speeches were delivered in global
hot-spots and were paid for by entities with business or policy interests in the
U.S.
The documents also show that in June 2011, the
State Department approved a consulting agreement between Bill Clinton and a
controversial Clinton Foundation adviser, Doug Band.
