The scandal was an apparent scheme by the Clinton administration to sell seats on taxpayer-funded trade missions in exchange for campaign contributions to the 1996 Clinton-Gore campaign.

Judicial Watch began an investigation and Clinton administration officials deliberately concealed and destroyed records regarding the trade mission and testimony was falsified.

The Clinton Foundation has dubious ties with China that started a looooong time ago in 1996 during the "Chinagate" scnadal.But most voters today are either too young or old to remember the deep implications of that fiasco.Basically the Clintons were ready, willing, and able to sell America's most sensitive technology to the Chinese. In return Johnny Cheng and many other Chinese started funneling big bucks back to the Clintons in grattitude via the Clinton Foundation in the following years when Bill left office in 2000.More recently CBS News tracked 2 million bucks to the Clinton Foundation and this appears to be the tip of the China iceberg.Ooops! I almost forgot to mention the $10 million of Saudi doantions made th the Clinton Foundation right in installments both before and after Secretary of State Clinton approved a $100 Billion dollar arms package for the Saudi government which then went on to kill 6,0000 Yemeni civilians as you can read here
