Republican nominee Donald Trump started the week off swinging on Monday by calling for Hillary Clinton to shut down the controversial Clinton Foundation immediately.

“Hillary Clinton is the defender of the corrupt and rigged status quo," he said in a statement released through his campaign. "The Clintons have spent decades as insiders lining their own pockets and taking care of donors instead of the American people. It is now clear that the Clinton Foundation is the most corrupt enterprise in political history. What they were doing during Crooked Hillary’s time as Secretary of State was wrong then, and it is wrong now. It must be shut down immediately.”

During an interview with "Fox & Friends," Trump repeatedly called for Clinton to return all the money that was collected from foreign governments and said that the whole thing was a scam.

"Countries that influenced her totally and also countries that discriminate against women and gays and everybody else. I mean, that money, it should be given back. They should not take that money," Trump said.
