The '''Clinton Foundation conflicts of interest''' cited below roughly fall into three categories : (1) past conflicts during [[Hillary Rodham Clinton]]'s tenure as [[U.S. Secretary of State]]; (2) conflicts of interest related to fundraising for [[election]] campaigns; and (3) potential conflicts should Hillary Clinton be elected president of the [[United States]].
