Those Clinton Foundation Tax Forms? Here's What the Foundation's CEO Just Admitted About Them

How much foreign cash has been funneled through the Clinton Foundation? Who were the donors? Do they pose a conflict of interest for 2016 presidential candidate — and former Secretary of State — Hillary Clinton?

Don't expect all the answers to be on the tax forms. Those have been bungled.

As questions swirl around the fact that the Clintons' charity has been raking in millions of dollars in foreign donations, the foundation officially acknowledged that it had messed up tax forms.

Acting Clinton Foundation CEO Maura Pally released a statement Sunday morning in which she argued that the foundation has done a lot of good in the world and has always attempted to be transparent.

She said the Clinton Giustra Enterprise Partnership, with which the Clinton Foundation works closely, does not list individual donors due to Canadian law.

The Clinton Giustra Enterprise Partnership is at the center of questionable deals in which it appears Russian investors may have funneled cash into the Clintons' charitable work in exchange for State Department approval of a Canadian uranium mining deal.

Pally also admitted the foundation had messed up tax forms, writing:

I also want to address questions regarding our 990 tax forms. We have said that after a voluntary external review is completed we will likely refile forms for some years. While some have suggested that this indicates a failure to accurately report our total revenue, that is not the case. Our total revenue was accurately reported on each year's form – our error was that government grants were mistakenly combined with other donations. Those same grants have always been properly listed and broken out and available for anyone to see on our audited financial statements, posted on our website.

So yes, we made mistakes, as many organizations of our size do, but we are acting quickly to remedy them, and have taken steps to ensure they don't happen in the future. We are committed to operating the Foundation responsibly and effectively to continue the life-changing work that this philanthropy is doing every day.
