Hillary Clinton Courts Energy Industry at Greenwich Fund-Raiser

Democratic presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton courted major Democratic donors who are invested in the oil and gas industry at a fund-raiser held Friday at the Greenwich home of hedge fund manager Cliff Robbins.

Clinton has voiced opposition to the Keystone XL pipeline, and her appearance at the fundraiser hosted by the hedge fund manager involved in the oil and gas sectors through his Blue Harbour Group, reportedly appears to be at odds with Clinton’s current policy statements on the campaign trail, according to the Washington Free Beacon.

The Clinton fund-raiser was held at the $8.2 million home owned by Robbins and his wife Debbie who reportedly have contributed nearly $200,000 to Democratic candidates over the past decade. Clinton has previously said she opposes drilling in the Arctic Ocean and lifting an oil export ban.

Clinton attended another Greenwich fund-raiser in June.
