Former President Bill Clinton on Wednesday defended the work of the Clinton Foundation.

Clinton told reporters in Atlanta on Wednesday: "If there's something wrong with creating jobs and saving lives, I don't know what it is."

An Associated Press report Tuesday found more than half of the non-government officials who met with Hillary Clinton while she was secretary of state gave money to the foundation.

Bill Clinton repeated his plans to stop accepting foreign donations and personally stop raising money for the foundation if Hillary Clinton is elected president. He said those changes can be made quickly after the election, but he doesn't want to jeopardize projects or hurt employees.
