Bill Clinton may be asked to testify at his wife's confirmation hearings. Senate Republicans remain concerned that as secretary of state, Hillary might run into potential conflicts of interest involving Bill's charity work across the globe.

"There are concerns about his international work across the board," a Republican aide, speaking on the condition of anonymity, told Politico. "Seeking donations from foreign governments is definitely concerning. ... It has been discussed, and it will be discussed."

Neither Hillary or Bill have commented but Democratic officials say the former president has already given up fundraising from foreign governments.

Hillary is meeting this week with the committee that will oversee the hearing and might be trying to put the issue to rest before the confirmation process begins.

Our New Approach to Comments

In an effort to encourage the same level of civil dialogue among Politics Daily’s readers that we expect of our writers – a “civilogue,” to use the term coined by PD’s Jeffrey Weiss – we are requiring commenters to use their AOL or AIM screen names to submit a comment, and we are reading all comments before publishing them. Personal attacks (on writers, other readers, Nancy Pelosi, George W. Bush, or anyone at all) and comments that are not productive additions to the conversation will not be published, period, to make room for a discussion among those with ideas to kick around.
