Democratic Debate: Clinton Receives Key Endorsement, But Faces New Questions
As the candidates prepared for the debate, Clinton got a bit of good news. She was endorsed by the political arm of the Congressional Black Caucus.

But, also on Thursday, The Washington Post revealed new details about a State Department investigation into Clinton’s tenure as secretary of state.
The Washington Post reported that investigators with the State Department issued a subpoena to the Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton Foundation in the fall seeking documents about the charity’s projects that may have required approval from the federal government during Hillary Clinton’s term as secretary of state.
The subpoena also asked for records related to Huma Abedin, a longtime Clinton aide. For six months in 2012, Abedin was employed simultaneously by the State Department, the foundation, Clinton’s personal office and a private consulting firm with ties to the Clintons.
In Thursday’s debate, Clinton may face new questions about the relationships between her family’s foundation and people important to the state department — both its employees, and the foreign governments it had contact with — during her tenure as secretary. She may also face questions about her use of a private email server to handle government business during that period, which has raised questions about whether Clinton mishandled classified information.
