The non-profit foundation and its list of donors have been
under intense scrutiny in recent weeks. Republican critics say
the foundation makes Hillary Clinton, who is seeking the
Democratic presidential nomination in 2016, vulnerable to undue
influence.
After a Reuters review found errors in how the foundation
reported government donors on its taxes, the charity said last
week it would refile at least five annual tax returns.
"So yes, we made mistakes, as many organizations of our size do,
but we are acting quickly to remedy them, and have taken steps
to ensure they don't happen in the future," Clinton Foundation
acting Chief Executive Officer Maura Pally said in a statement.
The errors appeared on the tax forms 990 that all non-profit
organizations must file annually with the U.S. Internal Revenue
Service to maintain their tax-exempt status.
Pally said the foundation did accurately report its total
revenue but government grants were mistakenly combined with
other donations.
