Hillary Clinton, call your office, because this stinks:

Clinton’s ethics agreement with the Obama White House stated that she would tell the administration about such gifts, but she forgot about this one:

We also don’t know if Qatar got the meeting it wanted with Bill over the donation. From Reuters:
A Clinton Foundation spokesman, Brian Cookstra, confirmed this week that the foundation accepted the $1 million gift from Qatar, but said this did not amount to a “material increase” in the Gulf country’s support for the charity. Cookstra declined to say whether Qatari officials received their requested meeting with Bill Clinton.
Maybe there’s some wiggle room as we don’t know yet if Qatar’s gift was a “material increase” from a previous donor:

Now let’s see if this moves any voters or if it’s too late.
