The Clinton Foundation raised $26 million from Sweden while the Swedish government was lobbying the State Department to not sanction Swedish businesses working with Iran.

In 2009, diplomatic officials warned that Sweden was ramping up trade with Iran, even while the U.S. was placing heavy sanctions on Iran in an attempt to drive them to the bargaining table and halt their nuclear program.

“Although our Swedish interlocutors continue to tell us that Europe’s overall trade with Iran is falling, the statements and information found on Swedish and English language websites shows that Sweden’s trade with Iran is growing,” wrote the U.S. Embassy in a Dec. 22, 2009, diplomatic cable released by Wikileaks. The cable was sent to seven government agencies, including Hillary Clinton’s office.

The Clinton campaign did not reply to a request for comment.

In 2009, Swedish telecommunications giant Ericsson AB provided technology to Iranian telecommunications company MTN IRanCell that could be used to track their citizens. Ericsson told the Washington Times that the tracking technology could not be used by Iranian security services to track dissidents because it does not monitor location in real time.

In November 2011, a few weeks after the State Department released the first Iran sanctions list that did not include Ericsson or any other Swedish companies, Bill Clinton received $750,000 for a speech he gave to Ericsson.

The State Department ultimately chose not to sanction any Swedish companies.

The emails being examined are part of an investigation into Anthony Weiner, according to law enforcement sources. Weiner, the disgraced former congressman, recently separated from top Clinton aide Huma Abedin after a sexting incident.

Didn't Hilary say she gave everything to the FBI except the emails about cookie recipes?

Is she still withholding evidence?

She can't blame the Russians for this one.

Emails released today by Wikileaks show that before a primary debate hosted by CNN in March, Brazile contacted the Clinton campaign to notify them about a question she and her rival, Senator Bernie Sanders, would be asked about the water crisis in Flint, Michigan.

"One of the questions directed to HRC tomorrow is from a woman with a rash," Brazile wrote to senior Clinton staff. "Her family has lead poison and she will ask what, if anything, will Hillary do as president to help the ppl of Flint."

Folks, I did a service project today. It's so tragic. And what's worse, some homes have not been tested and it's important to encourage seniors to also get tested.

The following night, Lee-Anne Walters, a mom whose twin boys stopped growing and whose daughter lost her hair during the Flint water contamination crisis, posed a question to both Clinton, the eventual Democratic presidential nominee, and her primary opponent Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders.

“After my family, the city of Flint and the children in D.C. were poisoned by lead, will you make a personal promise to me right now that, as president, in your first 100 days in office, you will make it a requirement that all public water systems must remove all lead service lines throughout the entire United States, and notification made to the — the citizens that have said service lines?” Walters asked.

Clinton responded with a lengthy answer that moderator Anderson Cooper had to twice interrupt in an attempt to keep to the agreed-upon time limit. Clinton’s remarks drew applause from the crowd, though she wound up ultimately losing the state’s primary to Sanders two days later.
