But the Republicans take the majority that night, and in January, he hands the chairmanship of the Foreign Relations Committee to Senator Bob Corker of Tennessee.

On May 5th, twenty fifteen, a conservative author, Peter Schweitzer, publishes Clinton Cash, a book about the donors to the family foundation.

The Republicans running for the White House make the foundation their main line of attack on the vice president.

She launches her campaign on Saturday, June 13th, at Four Freedoms Park on Roosevelt Island in New York.

He'll do it for free.

You know, like I said, my husband is an artist and did the graphic novel adaption of Clinton Cash, which was Peter Schweitzer's, what he'll say, boring, dry book, and made it into a graphic novel, you know, with some of the top artists.

And it cost money, and it was a New York Times number one bestseller.

And...

And part of the reason why I believe that is because of the reporting that you and other people that we work with here have done.

What's the common theme? The first two books you did were about insider trading in Congress and then throw them all out or then extortion where you're taking your congressional PACs and furnishing lavish lifestyles, right? But then what happened? Clinton Cash, and then we do Profiles in Corruption, and it starts to be this offshoring.

And so you start to become – learn more about, I believe because it's increasing, more foreign influence and foreign efforts to engage with and bribe, for lack of a better term, U.S. politicians as a way to cater to their interests.

So if we know they're doing it in the form of elite capture and trying to form business relationships with family members of U.S. politicians, why would we think foreign money making its way into U.S. campaigns wasn't still a very real problem?

He'd been criticized as early as 1993 for fabricating sources and events in his book, Friendly Spies.

He'd go on to publish Clinton Cash in 2015, a book that Media Matters concluded contained over 20 errors, fabrications, and distortions.

On 60 Minutes, Schweizer claimed that members of Congress had been trading stocks based on inside information.

We know that during the healthcare debate, people were trading healthcare stocks.

But there are other voices out there and there's some strange bedfellows that have developed here.

Yeah, I'm getting shades of 2016, actually, because when your book Clinton Cash came out, we had Steve Bannon working alongside Bernie Sanders.

Bernie Sanders was then running against Hillary Clinton in the Democrat primary process.

And Bernie Sanders was kind of touting some of the revelations that you had in the book Clinton Cash.

And yet here is Steve Bannon 10 years later and Bernie Sanders at this pro-humanity, pro-human assembly.

Who's against that? Yeah, exactly.

I think that anytime you ask the government and you ask the government to come in and regulate yourself, you're doing that out of self-interest because you believe that you can control the process.

So I have a question for you because you have previously written about how Silicon Valley executives specifically have an affinity, an enthusiasm, an emotional connection to China and the principles and thoughts behind the Communist Party.

And he wasn't really a thing to us.

until he left the GAI after we wrote Clinton Cash and he joined the Trump campaign.

And then when Trump got elected, and we could talk about this if you'd like to, but the book Clinton Cash, they would read from it on stage and everything else, and it was kind of like, bro, what did we just do? You know, like how did, how did we go from writing this book? And then Steve leaves and he joins the Trump campaign.

And then we kind of elevated our status and profile.

But at the time I didn't really know he was, and I would produce a work with Peter on his next book extortion.

And so I've had the privilege of working with Peter since then and help him work on his books.

I wrote my own book about election integrity that came out in 2018.

I traveled to Haiti for the research for Clinton Cash.

Well, the Clinton ones did.

The Clinton Cash book that he wrote years earlier.

Now he's shifted to the Bidens, and he's promoting this idea that Joe Biden was involved in tremendous corruption in Ukraine when he was vice president.

So he's a little bit not in the center of Rudy's operation, but he's He's created the ether for it.
