Hillary Clinton’s chief of staff moonlighted as an advisor to the Clinton Foundation while working full time at the State Department, according to leaked emails which highlight the blurred line between the government and the foundation while Clinton worked as Secretary of State.

Leaked emails published by WikiLeaks show State Department aide Cheryl Mills helping to remodel the foundation’s structure, preparing the organization for a corporate audit, and counselling Bill Clinton on his high-paying speaking and consulting work.

Mills worked closely with the foundation and Bill Clinton – even as she was tasked at the State Department with helping to vet the former president’s paid speaking engagements and non-profit work for potential conflicts of interest.
