Washington, Aug. 26 (CNA) The campaign team of Hillary Clinton, the U.S. presidential candidate of the Democratic Party, will come to Taiwan to raise funds in September for her campaign activities, according to her official website.
The fundraiser will take place in Taipei on Sept. 7. But only U.S. citizens and U.S. permanent residents are allowed to attend, and participants will be asked to provide documentation of their U.S. passport or green card, the information on the website said.
This is because the U.S. Federal Election Campaign Act “prohibits any foreign national from contributing, donating or spending funds in connection with any federal, state, or local election in the United States, either directly or indirectly.” [FULL STORY]
