Not the point. If in fact wealthy donors gained access to Hill as


Secy of State after giving money to the charity still being controlled by her family, that's a conflict of interest. Doesn't mean anything untoward actually happened - just means that there is an appearance that access was for sale. Truth is we don't know that anything untoward happened with Kushner either. The alleged fact pattern raises conflict issues though.

People in positions of trust - in business or in politics - are at risk if they fail to avoid not just the fact of a conflict of interest, but just the appearance. Just like Trump and his senior advisers should have divested any and all interests giving rise to such conflicts, during Hill's time as Secy of State, the Clinton family should have separated themselves from the management of their charity.
