Lawmakers want details on Clinton charity plan - National wire news 24/7 from The Plain Dealer & Associated Press - cleveland.com: "WASHINGTON -- Lawmakers want more details on an agreement between Hillary Clinton and President-elect Barack Obama intended to ensure that her husband's charitable work would not pose a conflict of interest if she is confirmed as secretary of state.

In a plan made public last year and outlined in a Jan. 5 letter by former President Bill Clinton's lawyer, ethics officials at the State Department will be allowed to review overseas contributions made to Bill Clinton's charity. The State Department also will be able to assess in advance the former president's consulting work and speaking engagements."
