Clinton Foundation Acknowledges Mistakes

The Clinton Foundation, fighting back against charges of conflict of interest in a forthcoming book, is trying to tamp down a growing political problem by admitting that it made "mistakes" as the philanthropy grew but maintaining that it did not intentionally do anything wrong.

With scrutiny of the Clinton Foundation’s financial practices threatening to create political problems for Hillary Rodham Clinton’s presidential campaign, the organization on Sunday took the unusual step of acknowledging “mistakes” but insisted that it is committed to transparency regarding its donors and operations around the world.
