Statement of Nick Merrill, Spokesman for former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, to The Hill.

“An Australian diplomat learned that one of his nation’s most important allies was under attack by an
adversary, Russia. He notified U.S. law enforcement, which is exactly what you would hope an ally would
do. The idea that this has anything to do with his government deciding a decade earlier to partner on
HIV/AIDS work with the Clinton Foundation, or the fact that as a United Nations envoy, he met with
Secretary Clinton at the State Department, is laughable. These conspiracies being peddled by the right are
no more than a pathetic and sustained effort to distract from the fact that we have a President who refuses
to defend his own country against widespread attacks on American democracy.”
