Trump: I ‘Doubt’ Hillary’s Trustworthy Because of Emails, Foundation, Speech Fees

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump said that he doubts Hillary Clinton’s trustworthiness “between the emails, and the foundations, and all of the money that comes in, and the speech money, and then all of a sudden, lots of good things happen to the people who give over the money” in an interview broadcast on Wednesday’s “Hannity” on the Fox News Channel.

Trump was asked of Clinton, “Do you think she’s honest and trustworthy? In the past you’ve donated money to her.” He answered, “I doubt it. I mean, look, you look at what’s going on, and you see what’s she’s done between the emails, and the foundations, and all of the money that comes in, and the speech money, and then all of a sudden, lots of good things happen to the people who give over the money.”

He added of Clinton’s prospective presidency, “it’s going to be a third Obama term. It’s going to be — and I sort of laugh when I hear her talking about income inequality, and she’s taken in all of this money.” And “she’s gone very far to the left because she doesn’t want Elizabeth Warren to come in, she doesn’t want other people to come in. She’s got enough problems with Sanders. But, she’s really going left. But I don’t think that will be the end case. And I think she’s going to start going a little bit more once she get — looks like she’s going to get the nomination, hard to believe in one sense because I really think, ‘Hey, if that were any Republican, with the emails, where you delete after getting a subpoena. You get a subpoena from the United States Congress, and then you delete everything. I think it’s called, like, jail time.'” And criticized Republican politicians for not bringing the issue up anymore.

He also said that her acceptance of donations from the countries with poor human rights records is “a total conflict of interest. And it could be illegal. But, at a minimum, it’s a conflict of interest.” And that a conservative Republican who acted in a similar manner would be in prison.
