Huma Abedin's Overlapping Jobs Spotlights Clinton Foundation Conflicts
/Huma Abedin's Overlapping Jobs Renew Focus on Clinton Conflicts Bloomberg Politics
Huma Abedin has often been called Hillary Clinton's second daughter, so often is she interwoven into Hillary's daily life. A release of emails last week has prompted renewed examination of Abedin's resignation on June 3, 2012 as Clinton's State Department deputy chief of staff and Hillary's ever present personal assistant.
Abedin was immediate rehired by the State Department as a 'special government employee'. She simultaneously took paying jobs with the Clinton Foundation and Teneo Holdings, a firm with ties to Bill Clinton.
These events prompt interested parties on all sides of the presidential election to ask about the future of the Clinton Foundation under a Hillary Clinton presidency.
“The Clinton Foundation for Hillary Clinton is kind of a walking conflict-of-interest problem,” Meredith McGehee, policy director for the nonpartisan Campaign Legal Center, said in an interview. “Clearly this notion that it could continue to operate while she was secretary of state -- it was a built-in problem. If you’re really looking at what should happen if she’s elected, neither her husband nor her daughter, certainly no relative, should have any connection with the foundation.”

I Survived 'Trump' Magazine -- Barely Politico
I had been at Trump magazine for only four months when my first paycheck bounced.
We’d heard rumors of the company’s financial troubles, but I had no idea how bad it really was until my landlord called me one afternoon to tell me that my rent check hadn’t cleared. I logged into my online banking account and saw, to my amazement, that the magazine I worked for—the one with the billionaire’s name on the cover—had stiffed me. Although it was a stressful moment, the irony was not lost on me. It felt like I was living in an Onion article: “Luxury Lifestyle Magazine Can’t Pay Its Own Employees.”
