Bill Clinton May Be Asked to Testify at Hillary's Confirmation Hearing

This could get interesting:
Senate Republicans are considering asking Bill Clinton to testify at his wife’s confirmation hearing about potential conflicts of interest involving his worldwide charitable enterprises.

“There are concerns about his international work across the board,” a Republican aide, speaking on the condition of anonymity, told Politico. “Seeking donations from foreign governments is definitely concerning. … It has been discussed, and it will be discussed.”

While spouses frequently attend nominees’ confirmation hearings, they are usually there for moral support and window dressing — a sympathetic face in the row of seats behind the witness table.

Indeed, it’s unusual to have anyone aside from the nominee testify at a confirmation hearing.

Bill (pointing shaky finger): "I did not receive illegal donations from that ambassador, Miss Lewinsky..er, Mgumbe."
