Aboard Air Force One, the White House once again dodged on when the President learned that the Clinton Foundation violated its 2008 memorandum of understanding with the White House:

Q: Was President Obama – what was his reaction to news that Hillary Clinton broke a promise she made to him in 2008 that she would disclose all donations – foreign and within the U.S. – made to her foundation?  It was reported this week that since 2010 she did not disclose all of them.

MR. SCHULTZ:  I actually haven’t seen those reports, so I don’t know the details.  All I can tell you is that I do know there is a memo of understanding, as you all have reported, back in 2008 I believe, that was signed before Secretary Clinton was conformed in order to avoid appearance of any conflict of interest and in keeping with the high standards we set for our nominees.  Those standards, you should know, went above and beyond historical precedent in terms of Cabinet secretaries.

This comes one day after White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest dodged similar questions in the White House press briefing room.
