Another Clinton Foundation pay-to-play scheme has been revealed by a foreign government.On May 11, Circareported, The Office of Bangladesh Prime MinisterSheikh Hasina confirmed to Circa that Mrs.Clintoncalled her office in March 2011 to demand that Dr. Muhammed Yunus, a 2006 Nobel Peace prize winner, be restored to his role as chairman of the countrys most famous microcredit bank, Grameen Bank. Yunus nonprofit through the bank Grameen America donated between $100,000 and $250,000 to theClinton Foundationand Grameen Research donated an additional $25,000 to $50,000. The exposure is one of the most overt examples of pay to play bythe Clinton Foundation. The deputy press secretary of the Bangladesh prime ministers office told Circa that Hillary Clinton, while serving as U.S. secretary of state, phoned Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina in March 2011 insisting she not remove ClintonFoundation donor Dr. Muhammad Yunus from his position as managing director of Grameen Bank.

The Associated PressreportedYunus met withClintonthree times and talked with her by phone during a period when Bangladeshi government authorities investigated his oversight of a nonprofit bank and ultimately pressured him to resign from the banks board. Throughout the process, he pleaded for help in messages routed toClinton, and she ordered aides to find ways to assist him. This new disclosure reveals that HillaryClintonintervened on Yunus behalf herself. Hewas eventually removed from his position in 2013.

In May 2012, the Bangladesh government was investigating the bank and Yunus for financial mismanagement and allegations that Yunus diverted bank funds to his private enterprises. The Daily Callerreportedin April 2017 that Clinton State Department aides threatened the Bangladesh prime minister with an IRS audit of her son, Sajeeb Wazed Joy, who is a United States resident. They threatened me with the possibility of an audit by the Internal Revenue Service. I have been here legally for 17 years and never had a problem. But they said, Well, you know, you might get audited, Wazed Joy told the Daily Caller in aninterview.They would say over and over again, Yunus has powerful friends, and we all knew they were talking of Secretary Clinton. Everybody knew it was Mrs.Clinton. Former Bangladesh Foreign Minister Dipu Moni told Daily Caller there was likely a correlation between the World Bank denying a $1.2 billion loan to Bangladesh and pressure fromClintonsState Department.

Thisisnt the first timea Clinton Foundation pay-to-play scheme has cometo light. Emails exposed by Wikileaksrevealed that Ukrainian billionaire Victor Pinchuk directlyleveragedhis donations of $10 to $25 million to the Clinton Foundation for access to theClintons, and the Moroccan government made adealfor a meeting with Hillary Clinton in exchange for their donations to the nonprofit. While Clinton served as secretary of state, sheplacedClinton Foundation donor Rajiv Fernando on an intelligence board he held no qualifications to serve on until reporters asking questions forced his resignation days later. Since the Clintons have lost much of their political power after the election, foreign governments have begun reducing or rescinding their annual donations to the foundation, and more revelations from foreign leaders are likely to be exposed now that the political risks for speaking out have diminished.
