DISINFO: Saudi Arabia and Qatar are the biggest donors to the Clinton Foundation

SUMMARY

Saudi Arabia and Qatar are the biggest donors to the Clinton Foundation. The support for Saudi Arabia and Qatar is directed to ISIL, and a recently leaked email of Hillary Clinton on WikiLeaks proves that she contributed to arming ISIS.

RESPONSE

Saudi Arabia and Qatar are not the biggest donors of the Clinton Foundation (the exact numbers aren't known but they range from $10 million to $25 million, wapo.st/2exqd5B), . The leaked email refers to concerns about founding for Daesh from Saudi Arabia / Qatar are financing ISIL (for whatever reason, ind.pn/2ee5iU7), . Clinton Foundation is involved in charitable work, not in financing the Presidential campaign.
