The fast-moving FIFA bribery scandal now has a Clinton connection, after news that the nation of Qatar and its 2022 World Cup organizing committee donated between $1.25 million and $5.5 million to the Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton Foundation.Imagine that!
It's unclear how much of the money changed hands before December 2010, when Qatar won the rights to host the event. The foundation's website only notes that some of the State of Qatar's money came last year.
The foundation also does not report exact amounts – disclosing only wide ranges. Qatar itself donated between $1,000,001 and $5,000,000. Its World Cup committee contributed between $250,001 and $500,000.
