Hillary Clinton Tries to Pay Some Bills
Race Against Time
(Fox News) - Senator Hillary Clinton is hoping to raise a lot of cash before becoming secretary of state. The Politico newspaper reports that Mrs. Clinton would be barred by ethics rules from partisan political activity if she is confirmed. That includes fundraising.
At the end of October — Clinton still owed $7.5 million dollars to vendors used during her presidential campaign. The outstanding debt leaves her with few options — others can raise funds on her behalf while she serves — she can let the bills linger until she steps down — or she can petition her vendors and the Federal Election Commission to forgive the debt through a process similar to bankruptcy.
In the meantime — the Clintons are vigorously soliciting donations via e-mail, including a new one that references her nomination.
