Vendors to Clinton: Don't Be a Deadbeat

Many irked as campaign delays bills to keep pace in race

(NEWSER) - Hillary Clinton’s campaign is earning a deadbeat reputation among some campaign vendors, reports Politico. To keep pace with Obama and maintain reserves for future media buys and events, it has put off paying hundreds of bills, leaving many—mostly small and local—businesses grousing.

Dem Donations Hit Record High

Clinton, Obama 2007 totals top $100M

(NEWSER) - The race for the presidency is crowded, but that isn't stopping candidates from raising huge sums of money, the Washington Post reports.

There are now four major federal cases involving six defendants who raised a total of more than $1.1 million for Clinton’s 2006 Senate campaign and 2008 White House campaign, the Washington Post reports. Danielczyk is accused of skirting campaign finance limits by illegally reimbursing almost $190,000 in donations he'd nominally solicited from others. More»

Clinton Writes Off $13.2M Campaign Loan

Forgiving loan helps clear way for confirmation at State

(NEWSER) - Hillary Clinton has formally written off the $13.2 million of her own money she lent to her presidential campaign, Bloomberg reports.
