Exclusive — Donald Trump: ‘Clinton Cash’ Proves Hillary Is ‘Crooked As Hell’
NEW YORK CITY, New York — Real estate magnate Donald Trump, the presumptive GOP presidential nominee, tells Breitbart News that former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is “crooked as hell.”
“That’s why I call her ‘Crooked Hillary,’” Trump replied when Breitbart News asked him during the interview in his Trump Tower office how she could have gone from “dead broke” when she and her husband former President Bill Clinton left the White House to worth hundreds of millions of dollars today. “She’s crooked as hell.”
Trump’s tripling down on his nickname for Clinton–“Crooked Hillary”–comes as the Los Angeles Times reports that the name seems to be sticking to Clinton nationwide.
“All campaign long, pollsters have found that many voters — including some Democrats — don’t think she’s principled,” columnist Doyle McManus wrote this week. “Maybe it’s her four decades in bare-knuckle politics, ancient questions about investment deals in Arkansas, her entanglement in her husband’s personal scandals, her decision to set up a private email server when she was secretary of State, her big-dollar fundraising and speech fees — or all of the above. Fairly or not, Clinton can’t shed her history.”
In this interview with Breitbart News, Trump called out the Clintons for their paid speeches’ connections to actions they took around the world—a theme laid out in both the “Clinton Cash” book by Breitbart News senior editor-at-large and Government Accountability Institute president Peter Schweizer and in the subsequent film on the movie. The film, directed by Breitbart News executive chairman and GAI chairman Stephen K. Bannon, will premiere at the Cannes Film Festival in France next week. Trump said the Clinton Cash book is “amazing” and that he is looking forward to seeing the movie.
“They made speeches for a lot of money and then things happened,” Trump told Breitbart News. “I mean, if you read that book, that book is amazing. How’s the movie? Did you see it? Let me know. If Steve [Bannon] is involved, it will be good.”
The film, which was screened for select media and political audiences here in Midtown, Manhattan, on Wednesday and will be again on Thursday, brings to life the revelations of several parts of the Clinton Cash book. It shows on the big screen in graphic detail how the Clintons used their influential connections worldwide to enrich themselves and their millionaire and billionaire friends while empowering many times corrupted world leaders and furthering plight of the world’s needy and poor in places like Africa and Haiti—all while jeopardizing U.S. interests by allowing Russia’s Vladimir Putin to have financial control of U.S. nuclear materials. This reporter saw the film at the screening on Wednesday.
