In a speech delivered less than an hour ahead of Hillary Clinton's Thursday appearance in Reno, Nevada — during which she is expected to attack Donald Trump as an "alt-right candidate" — Trump served up some criticism of his own for his election rival. During a rally in Manchester, New Hampshire, Trump tore into the allegedly close ties between the Clinton Foundation and the State Department while Clinton was secretary of state, dubbing the relationship between the two organizations "one of the most shocking political scandals." "It's Watergate all over again," Trump said. "And she's being totally protected by our government."
Trump accused Clinton of giving "favorable treatment" to people who had donated to the Clinton Foundation, or who had given money to her husband, former President Bill Clinton. "Hillary Clinton ran the State Department like a personal hedge fund," Trump said, describing the lines between the two organizations as so blurred that it's "hard to tell where the Clinton Foundation ends and where the State Department begins."
