A forthcoming book called Clinton Cash has made waves over its expose of "a pattern of financial transactions involving the Clintons that occurred contemporaneous with favorable U.S. policy decisions benefiting those providing the funds," according to CNN. Though Hillary Clinton's camp has derided the research as "partisan-fueled fiction," the book's author, Peter Schweizer, is actually a bipartisan muckraker — and his next target is presumed GOP candidate Jeb Bush.

This new work is on track to publish this summer, with plenty of time to do damage to Bush's campaign should Schweizer turn up shady dealings similar to those surrounding the Clinton family. "What we’re doing is a drill-down investigation of Jeb's finances similar to what we did with the Clintons in terms of looking at financial dealings, cronyism, who he’s been involved with," Schweizer says. "We've found some interesting things."
