Clinton Foundation donors: coffee is for closers.\
\
\"But as soon as Clinton lost the election, many of the criticisms directed toward the Clinton Foundation were reaffirmed. Foreign governments began pulling out of annual donations, signaling the organization's clout was predicated on donor access to the Clintons, rather than its philanthropic work. In November, the Australian government confirmed it "has not renewed any of its partnerships with the scandal-plagued Clinton Foundation, effectively ending 10 years of taxpayer-funded contributions worth more than \$88 million." The government of Norway also drastically reduced their annual donations, which reached \$20 million a year in 2015.\"\
