In the latest development, Reuters reported Thursday that another Clinton charity broke an agreement she had with the White House while she served in the State Department. To avoid potential conflicts of interest, she promised to disclose all of her nonprofits' donors.

However, that turned out to not be the case.

"In response to questions from Reuters, officials at the Clinton Health Access Initiative (CHAI) and the foundation confirmed no complete list of donors to the Clintons' charities has been published since 2010," Reuters' Jonathan Allen reported. "CHAI was spun off as a separate legal entity that year, but the officials acknowledged it still remains subject to the same disclosure agreement as the foundation."

CHAI spokeswoman Maura Daley acknowledged her organization had made a mistake.

"Not doing so was an oversight, which we made up for this year," she told Reuters.

This revelation follows The Washington Post's February report that the Bill, Hillary & Chelsea Clinton Foundation broke the agreement with the White House to limit its foreign contributions. Instead, the foundation took a $500,000 gift from Algeria, which at the time was actively lobbying the State Department on human-rights issues.

According to Reuters, the CHAI "oversight" also raises new questions about whether the State Department was able to review foreign governments' donations to the organization, "which spends more than all of the other foundation initiatives put together." Numerous foreign governments reportedly donated tens of millions of dollars to CHAI while Clinton served as secretary of state from 2009 to 2013.

Clinton aides and foundation officials have sought to downplay these developments...
