Flashback: Hillary Demands Answers About Obama's 'Closed Door' Deals with Nuclear Power Company

Ben Graham | April 24, 2015

Remember when Hillary Clinton, in an interview with ABC in 2008, said that transparency with voters was an important issue?

In this interview, Hillary insisted that the Clintons' “financial situation has been investigated more than anybody who’s ever been in public life in America,” and suggested that the press, instead, needed to investigate Obama’s dealings with Chicago-based power company Exelon and with donor Tony Rezko, the man who helped him buy his house in Chicago and was later arrested for using his connections to demand kickbacks from state businesses.

“Transparency is an important issue and it doesn’t always go to your personal finances, but, you know, Sen. Obama has some questions to answer about his dealings with his largest contributors Exelon, a big nuclear power company. Apparently, he cut some deals behind closed doors to protect them from full disclosure in the nuclear industry."
