“Today Citizens United filed our opposition to the government’s motion to consolidate our FOIA lawsuits with nearly thirty other cases. The government’s request is little more than a stunt designed to delay the public release of Huma Abedin and Cheryl Mills’ emails. The thirty lawsuits the government seeks to “coordinate” have no common issues of […]
On September 10, 2001, our leaders in Washington were happy to be debating things like Kennedy-Boehner education reform and McCain-Feingold campaign finance reform. Despite the 1998 terrorist attacks on our embassies in Africa and the 2000 attack on the USS Cole, Republicans and Democrats alike were still relying largely on the oceans that separate us […]
A Clinton Foundation official asked an aide to then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton if the government would allow the well-connected charity to accept a donation from an oil company with extensive ties to Iran. Cheryl Mills, Clinton’s chief of staff, did not deny the request when she received it in August 2012, instead asking the […]
As Congress prepares to return from summer recess this week, my organization, Citizens United, conducted a poll of a cross-section of our national membership asking what issue lawmakers on Capitol Hill should focus on next. We followed that query up with a question regarding congressional term limits. The results of the poll should be both […]
Bullies with government power always seem to know how to be creative in censoring their critics, which is one reason why we have the First Amendment as part of our nation’s fundamental and paramount law over government itself. In the 1950s, many politicians wanted to silence the civil rights movement. Doing their bidding, Alabama Attorney […]
Bill Clinton’s foundation, which sought but failed to receive State Department approval for him to give speeches tied to North Korea and the Congo, also asked that the head of a Malaysian oil company doing business with Iran be let into the United States, unsealed emails reveal. The Clinton Foundation sought the go-ahead for Shamsul […]

A statement from Citizens United President, David N. Bossie: Citizens United will vigorously oppose the government’s latest attempt to further delay the production of records relating to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and her top aides. The government’s announced plan to seek a stay of court ordered deadlines for producing records while seeking to […]
Statement by CU President David N. Bossie on newly released State Department-Clinton Foundation-Petronas email: “The Clinton Foundation seeking a donation from Petronas, a state-owned Malaysian oil company who did business with Iran, is just the latest indication that the Clintons will take money and do business with anyone. Right after Secretary Hillary Clinton’s State Department […]
Today the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia denied the State Department’s request for the appointment of a coordinating judge to oversee lawsuits involving Cheryl Mills and Huma Abedin’s State Department records. Had the Court appointed a coordinating judge, efforts to release Mills and Abedin’s emails to the public could have been delayed […]
In 2012, former President Clinton asked the State Department if it would be OK for him to accept speech invitations related to two of the cruelest nations in the world: the Democratic Republic of the Congo and North Korea. That’s what ABC News is reporting today, in any case. They’ve obtained copies of e-mails from […]

It’s outrageous that the Secretary of State’s husband was […]
