The trust included holdings in Rupert Murdoch’s News Corporation, oil companies, defence contractors, pharmaceutical groups, and Wal-Mart, the giant retailer on whose board Ms Clinton once sat.

The former president’s stake is thought to have been acquired when his friend and business partner Ron Burkle bought Garrard in March last year

Well why not? With the election and the Democrats in charge of Congress these holdings will be worth far less. Not that the Clinton’s will care... they already made their money. ;-)

Hitlery a bumbling Rat hypocrite who can't disguise her unsavory financial dealings? No way! She's "the smartest woman in the world"!

Mr Burkle has also been considering a bid for Dow Jones, owner of the Wall Street Journal.

Good news for the WSJ editorial board!

How does anyone, especially XXX-42 and Hillary, know about the contents of the blind trust. I thought the whole idea of a blind trust for politicians was so they didn't know how their money was invested so they couldn't be accused of changing policy to enrich themselves. If Hillary could disclose what was in the trust then it wasn't blind.

how is a trust blind when the owner of the trust knows all the particulars of what the trust consists...reviews the equitites and then sells certain ones and not others!

this would lead to everyone having mutual funds could consider them to be blind and therefore not pay taxes on them!

only a lib/dem with the complicity of the lib/dem msm could buy this crap!!!!

the public believing this gets to buy a bridge at a bargain...and then will try to place it in a blind trust!

Who really thinks Hillary wants the Presidency for any reason other than for the wealth and power it will accrue to her?

You can bet not one of our esteemed, hardhitting journalists will ever ask Mrs. Clinton anything about this.
