Chatwal denies donations to Clinton |
A controversial new book on foreign donations to the Clinton Foundation is a politically motivated cheap publicity stunt to defame 2016 US Presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton, said Indian American hotelier Sant Chatwal. Named prominently in book titled `Clinton Cash` by author Peter Schweizer, Chatwal strongly refuted the allegations that the donation made by him to the Clinton Foundation was instrumental in Clinton voting in favor of the India-US civil nuclear deal in 2008. Chatwal was awarded the Padma Bhushan by the Indian government in 2010. He asserted that his fundraising efforts and his campaign in favor of the historic nuclear deal had nothing to do with the decision making process of Hillary Clinton, who was then a Senator. The allegations were also refuted by Clinton`s office. Schweizer alleged that the Indian government rewarded Chatwal with the civilian award for getting Clinton`s support.
