Hillary Clinton Quits Clinton Foundation

Hillary Clinton on Sunday resigned from the board of the Clinton Foundation to focus on her just-launched presidential campaign, POLITICO has learned.

Clinton announced her resignation in an email to the foundation's employees Sunday afternoon, not long after launching her presidential campaign with a digital media blitz.

"While I have cherished my time serving on the board and engaging in the day-to-day work of the Foundation, in order to devote myself to this new, all-encompassing endeavor, I have resigned from the Board of Directors effective today," she wrote in an email obtained by POLITICO.
