Reading another book about the 2016 election and I find it extraordinary that the Clinton Foundation received a staggering $2billion in contributions from foreign governments.

Even more staggering....it is Trump who is under investigation for a "foreign" government interfering in the US election.

Why?

Politics is all about investments - if you want a sympathetic leader in another country, you pump money into to make sure they are elected.

Strangely nonfactual book. The $2bn is the total raised since 1997 and is from lots of sources, not just Governments.

And I understand that the money went in from 1997. Nothing 'non-factual' about that.

The Clinton Foundation's money isn't just intended to fund political campaigns. I'd do a bit of research (other than your book) before commenting further.

'Non-factual'. Good grief. Try 'wrong'.

Your OP suggests that you believed the money to be directly related to the election alone.

Maybe some could benefit from leaving a 'non-factual, post-book reality'.

I'm not really sure why the title references Trump either.

The DUP received almost half a million from a Saudi businessman to help fund their anti EU campaign.

I mentioned Trump because the election was between him and Clinton.

They didn't but you wrote 'To my knowledge no UK Parties have been funded by foreign governments'

"...no UK parties have been funded by foreign governments."
The SDLP also received funding from an American agency with links to their government.
