A Saudi Prince claims he has funded 20 percent of Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign. If true, the donations would break campaign finance laws and would constitute a crime. The claim was reported by the Petra News Agency, which is the official media outlet of Jordan. The news agency has since retracted the claim.

LOS ANGELES, CA (California Network) - The Saudi Deputy Crown Prince, Mohammed bin Salman, has claimed that he has given Hillary Clinton 20 percent of her campaign cash for her presidential bid. His bold statement was reported by the Petra News Agency in Jordan, in an official report. However, that claim has since been retracted by the news agency.

Several news outlets have managed to capture copies of the now-deleted report. Observers can make of the report what they wish, but it does not seem to be something the Saudi Deputy Crown Prince would need to make up for himself.

In the now-deleted report, the Saudi Deputy Crown Prince said the money was given to Hillary Clinton with "full enthusiasm," and in a comment claimed that the sum equaled 20 percent of her total campaign funding.

Petra claimed the report was posted by hackers as the reason for its deletion.

According to the law, it is illegal for candidates for public office to accept donations from foreign governments. If the document were found to be true, then Hillary Clinton would be guilty of breaking yet another major law.

It is a known fact that Hillary Clinton's family charity has received millions from the Saudi government, somewhere between $10 million and $25 million. While such gifts could be the product of Saudi altruism, it is more likely they are investments for which the Saudi royal family expects to reap a benefit later.

How likely is Hillary Clinton to represent American interests when she owes her position, or at least 20 percent of her position, to Saudi Arabia?
