WASHINGTON (AP) — A new list of donors to the Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton Foundation shows a marked surge in donations and the numbers of contributors to the family charity in the first half of this year — at the same time that Hillary Rodham Clinton ramped up her campaign for the presidency.
Clinton Foundation officials said figures released Thursday show that overall giving to the charity is up compared to the first half of 2014. The foundation has declined to provide specific donation amounts or the precise timing of its thousands of contributions.
There have been more than 10,500 donors so far this year compared with 8,800 in the first half of last year, foundation officials said.
