Clinton Foundation to Refile Tax Returns After Errors Revealed 
---------------------------------------------------------------


 
The Clinton family's charities are refiling at least five annual tax
returns after an investigation by Reuters found errors in how they
reported donations from governments. Reuters found for three years in a
row beginning in 2010, the Clinton Foundation reported to the IRS that
it received zero dollars in funds from governments. But several foreign
governments actually continued to donate tens of millions of dollars to
the foundation. Meanwhile, another report has raised questions about the
Clinton Foundation's connection to the Russian takeover of a Canadian
uranium mining firm. According to a New York Times report based in part
on a forthcoming book called "Clinton Cash" by Peter Schweizer, the
State Department, then led by Hillary Clinton, gave its approval to a
deal which granted the Russians control of one-fifth of uranium
production capacity in the United States. Amid the takeover by the
company which became known as Uranium One, the Clinton Foundation
received donations of over $2 million from the firm's chairman.
