Political consultant and author Dick Morris doesn't think anything will change with the Clinton Foundation if Hillary Clinton wins the presidential election in November despite its claims otherwise.
"Hillary's people at the foundation put out a statement saying, 'we've decided we're not accepting any contributions from foreigners. No foreigners, no foreign corporations. But that means we'll continue to accept bribes from Americans,'" Morris told host J.D. Hayworth on Newsmax TV's "Newsmax Prime" Monday night.
"Now Trump is saying that that obviously was her way of saying she's not gonna close the thing down. She would be a sitting president of the United States with a great big pit, a barbecue pit for money, where people could throw it into the pit and in return get to see Hillary or get to have the president take favorable action. Never been something like that before, and it was Hillary's way of saying she's gonna do it by not barring accepting domestic contributions."

Morris thinks Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump's response of saying the foundation should be shut down was brilliant.
"Trump nailed her right between the eyes with the statement today. And I think it was terrific," he said.
Regarding Trump's immigration plan, which appears to be on hold as he works with his new campaign team leaders to clarify the message and policy, Morris said two familiar names were behind another significant border wall that was built in the United States.
"Do you know who first built a border wall? Bill Clinton, with Hillary's support," Morris said. "I just watched a video clip of her in 1993 advocating a border wall, and Bill Clinton built a 325-mile long border fence they called it, but it was a wall, 20 feet high in some places, along the California-Mexican border, extending into Arizona a little bit.
"That was originally to have been part of a continuous wall on the frontier, and was built by Bill Clinton with Hillary Clinton's overt and active support."
Morris is the author of the book "Armageddon: How Trump Can Beat Hillary" with Eileen McGann, which remains the No. 1 nonfiction book in the United States, based on Amazon.com ratings, and has debuted at No. 4 on the Aug. 7 New York Times nonfiction list.
