Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairman Reince Priebus called on Hillary Clinton to end her streak of 263 days without a press conference to fully explain the conflicts of interest involving the Clinton Foundation and why she gave unprecedented preferential treatment to donors while serving as the nation’s top diplomat:
“It’s time for Hillary Clinton to hold a press conference to explain the brazen conflicts of interest and obvious pay-to-play politics that went on in her State Department,” said RNC Chairman Reince Priebus. “Clinton owes explanations for why she broke ethics agreements regarding foreign donations to her family foundation, gave preferential treatment to foundation donors as secretary of state, and why we should believe that her secret server wasn’t designed to cover up the shady pay-to-play politics at her State Department. We’ve been here before: in March of 2015 Clinton stood at the U.N. and lied directly to the American people about the nature of her secret server and the classified information she exposed — it’s time for her to face the press again, except she needs to tell the American people the truth they deserve this time. Failure to face the press will only deepen the question on voters’ minds: what exactly is she hiding?”
