WikiLeaks released new hacked emails from
Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton's campaign account
over the weekend, alleging that King Mohammed VI of Morocco paid some
$12 million to the Clinton Foundation on condition that it would hold a
conference in Morocco in May 2015 with her as the keynote speaker.
According to Wikileaks, the hacked emails come
from Clinton's campaign chairman John Podesta, and show a
correspondence between him and her top aide, Huma Abedin.
"No matter what happens, she will be in
Morocco hosting CGI [Clinton Global Initiative] on May 5-7, 2015. Her
presence was a condition for the Moroccans to proceed so there is no
going back on this," Abedin wrote in the 2014 email.
Several months later, Abedin wrote that the
conference, scheduled a month after Clinton announced her run for the
presidency, would undermine her candidacy.
"It will break a lot of china to back out now
when we had so many opportunities to do it in the past few months. She
created this mess and she knows it," Abedin wrote.
Eventually, Clinton's husband, former
President Bill Clinton, and their daughter Chelsea attended in her place
while she campaigned in Nevada and California.
Clinton's campaign accused Moscow of being
behind the hack, accusing Russian President Vladimir Putin of attempting
to tip the scale of the U.S. elections in Republican nominee Donald
Trump's favor.
AP recently reported that Clinton has met with
numerous donors while serving as the secretary of state between 2009
and 2013, with aim of raising money for her foundation. One of the
latest emails released by WikiLeaks alleges that Qatar offered Bill
Clinton a donation of $1 million to the Clinton Foundation for his
birthday.
Meanwhile, WikiLeaks posted a message on
Twitter reinforcing Trump's claim that the current U.S. election round
was "rigged" and even suggested that Trump himself was part of this
conspiracy, as Clinton and the media sought to have Trump win the
primaries to bring the Republican party to a record low.
"There is no U.S. election. There is power
consolidation. Rigged primary, rigged media and rigged 'pied piper'
candidate drive consolidation," the WikiLeaks tweet read.
