Peter Schweizer Authors CLINTON CASH; To Pen Book About Jeb Bush Next

Peter Schweizer, author of Them All Out: How Politicians and Their Friends Get Rich off Insider Stock Tips, Land Deals, and Cronyism That Would Send the Rest of Us to Prison, is set to release a new book. In 2015 Harper Collins will publish Clinton Cash: The Untold Story of How and Why Foreign Governments and Businesses Helped Make Bill and Hillary Rich, which asserts foreign entities made payments to the Clinton Foundation and to Bill Clinton through high speaking fees in exchange for receiving favors from the State Department during Hillary Clinton's tenure as Secretary of State. Several media outlets received advanced copies, including The New York Times, Washington Post, and Fox News, all of whom agreed to pursue stories found in the book.

In response to the pending release of Clinton Cash, Media Matters published a collection of third-party criticisms of Schweizer's methodology along with retractions and errors in Schweizer's previous work. The New York Times noted that Schweizer writes mainly in the voice of a neutral journalist, and provides meticulous documentation of its sources in the new book.

In addition. it is reported that he will also be writing about Jeb Bush. In an interview with Bloomberg Politics, he said, "What we're doing is a drill-down investigation of Jeb's finances similar to what we did with the Clintons in terms of looking at financial dealings, cronyism, who he's been involved with. We've found some interesting things."
