AFP, Washington :Hillary Clinton today said she was certain no revelations from emails or foreign entities’ ties to her husband’s charitable foundation will derail her bid for the US presidency.”I am sure, and I am sure because I have a very strong foundation of understanding about the foundation” and the good work it has done, the Democratic candidate said in an interview with MSNBC.Clinton, who is leading in the polls, has come under withering scrutiny over whether Clinton Foundation donors received favored access at the State Department while she was secretary of state during President Barack Obama’s first term.Republican rival Donald Trump earlier this week called for an independent investigation after a fresh batch of Clinton emails released as part of a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit showed foundation donors lobbying her top aides for access. The Associated Press, meanwhile, reported that more than half the people outside government who met Clinton while she was secretary of state donated money to the Clinton Foundation.
