Bill Clinton May Be Barred From Soliciting Big Checks From Donors In 2016

WASHINGTON — Headed into the 2016 presidential campaign, the Hillary Clinton camp has been confident it will be able to raise the kind of money that can scare off any Democratic challenger and compete with the GOP in the general election. Part of that confidence comes from knowing that two of the planet’s best fundraisers — former President Bill Clinton and Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe — are core members of the team.

The unexpected hiccup comes in the wake of Clinton camp infighting that broke into the open when The New York Times published a story critical of Clinton fundraiser Mary Pat Bonner, relying on anecdotes that could only have come from fundraising rivals within the Clinton camp, including at Priorities USA.
