“Basically, they’ve taken publicly available information and kind of rehashed it into this sort of partisan fantasy,” Karen Finney, a senior communications aide on the campaign, said during an MSNBC appearance on Monday.

The campaign similarly dismissed the book’s charge that Clinton came out in support of the Colombia Free Trade deal because of donations made to her husband’s foundation by business interests that could benefit from the deal.

“In a book full of far-fetched conspiracy theories, this is one of the most absurd,” campaign spokesman Brian Fallon said.
