Hillary Clinton Campaign Ramps Up Attack on Follow-the-Money Book

As the East Coast woke up Thursday to a new round of stories questioning the Clinton Foundation's financial dealings, Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign ramped up its effort to paint a forthcoming book on the subject as little more than a partisan attack that lacks “a shred of evidence” supporting its claims.

In a memo sent overnight to friends and allies, Clinton campaign press secretary Brian Fallon dismisses Clinton Cash as a “smear project” from author Peter Schweizer, who has “longstanding conservative ties, from working for George W. Bush to writing for Breitbart.com.” The message, obtained by Bloomberg, follows a similar note from Fallon to supporters of the former secretary of state earlier in the week, as claims from the book began to emerge.
