Clinton Foundation Criticized for Donations from Oil Firms, Oil-Rich Nations 
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------


 
Hillary Clinton, seen as the likely Democratic frontrunner for
president, has come under fire from environmental groups after it was
revealed her nonprofit foundation has received millions in donations
from fossil fuel companies, the governments of Saudi Arabia and Qatar,
and a Canadian governmental agency promoting the Keystone XL oil
pipeline. The Clinton Foundation, run by Hillary and Bill Clinton, and
their daughter Chelsea, has raised nearly $2 billion since its creation
in 2001.
