On Thursday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “Special Report,” columnist Charles Krauthammer argued that the Clinton Foundation is “a kind of a racket. It’s a place, it’s a holding pen for Clinton Inc. It’s a way to bring money in to launder it” that needs to be shut down.

Krauthammer said, [relevant remarks begin around 3:15] “The fact that the Clintons are announcing that they would not take this or that donation is irrelevant. They need to shut it down. They should have been shut down at the beginning. It really is a kind of a racket. It’s a place, it’s a holding pen for Clinton Inc. It’s a way to bring money in to launder it and to push it out into the hands of their hangers-oners. That’s what it’s done. It’s been extremely effective. But, you know, how many times do you have to occupy the White House? If you do it twice, you know you’re going to have a comfortable retirement. You don’t need this.”
