Trump Calls On Justice Department To Appoint Special Prosecutor To Investigate Clinton Foundation [VIDEO]

Via the USA Today:



Seeking to make the Clinton Foundation a major election issue, Donald Trump said Monday that a special prosecutor should probe the financial dealings of the organization begun by ex-president Bill Clinton and current Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton. Trump told supporters at a rally in Akron, Ohio, that the Justice Department and FBI did a “whitewash” on Clinton’s use of private e-mail at the State Department, and “they certainly cannot be trusted to quickly or impartially investigate Hillary Clinton’s crimes.”

The Republican presidential nominee claimed that the foundation enabled Clinton to set up a “pay for play” operation at the State Department. There is no longer a federal law governing the appointment of an independent counsel, as there was during Bill Clinton’s years in the White House. The Justice Department would have to decide on its own whether to appoint a special prosecutor on any case.
