Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton’s presidential campaign is still trying to raise money to pay off old debts.
James Carville, the Democratic strategist and longtime Clinton supporter, today sent out a request for funds on behalf of Hillary Clinton for President.

In December, after Clinton was nominated for secretary of state, the issue of how Clinton could legally raise funds to pay off her campaign debt arose because federal law barred Clinton from raising moneyonce she became a member of the Obama administration.
