Top Clinton aide mocks donor’s appointment to board

WASHINGTON

A top aide to then Secretary of State Hillary Clinton appeared to mock the appointment of a major Democratic donor with little experience to a sensitive government intelligence board allowing him the highest levels of top secret access.

 

Rajiv Fernando, who contributed to Clinton, her family’s foundation and Barack Obama, was named to the International Security Advisory Board in 2011, though he resigned days later after his appointment was questioned.

 

“Couldn’t he have landed a spot on the President’s Physical Fitness Council?” Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Philippe Reines wrote in a State Department email in 2012 to two other Clinton aides.

 

The newly released emails were provided to McClatchy by the conservative political group Citizens United, which obtained them through a lawsuit filed after its Freedom of Information Act requests went unanswered.
