Here’s an excerpt: Before Hillary Clinton spoke at the … Read more
If you’ve never heard of WJC, LLC, don’t worry, you’re not alone. I don’t think anyone other than a handful of insiders knew about the limited liability company set up by former President Bill Clinton under his initials, William Jefferson Clinton, until yesterday.
