Sounds like they are trying to dodge taxes. Hell though, if I had a foundation and wanted to attribute funds to charity, I would probably use my own foundation. Now, will Trump release his tax info? Doubtful.

Is there something illegal about that?
If I had my own charity organization where I knew what causes the money donated to it was being used for, I would donate my own money to that charity as well.
This seems very desperate.

Hey folks - just to be clear, there are TWO different Clinton Foundations we're talking about here. The Clinton Family Foundation is different from the Clinton Foundation. The Clinton Family Foundation has only a few million per year in contributions, and only one donor, the Clintons. The Clinton Foundation is a totally different organization and has hundreds of millions of dollars in contributions. I was confused by this until I found both organizations on guidestar.org, perhaps some of you were too.
Feel free to dig through the 990's for both as you please...

According to Clinton Foundation 990s reviewed by Breitbart News, the Clinton’s set up a separate entity, the “Clinton Foundation Hong Kong” in 2014. The filing doesn’t detail any specific activity by the new foundation, noting simply that its mission is to undertake programs of the Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton (BHCC) Foundation. Although it is a separate and distinct foundation, it is controlled by the BHCC Foundation, according to the 990 filings.
The Clintons have established three other separate, foreign foundations as part of their BHCC Foundation. It has created the William J. Clinton Foundation Charitable Trust in Kenya, Africa, to work on foundation programs, in addition to two foreign foundations whose primary activity is “fundraising.” The William J. Clinton Foundation UK is domiciled in London, while the Clinton Foundation Insalingsstiftelse is domiciled in Stockholm, Sweden.
All of these foreign foundations, while legally separate, are controlled by the BHCC Foundation. The existence of each ought to raise many questions, given Hillary Clinton’s service as Secretary of State. Given the long, shared history of the United States and Great Britain, a separate Clinton Foundation tasked with fundraising in the UK is at least superficially plausible. A separate fundraising arm in Sweden seems more curious, though.
