GETTY Hillary Clinton is not expected to return to her active role in the family foundation

Following her humiliating election loss, Clinton has been taking time away from politics to work out what she wants to do next. A source close to the former first lady said: “She’s taking a look at her life and wants to try some different things.

“She’s not tying herself to something that’s always been an option. She wants to figure out what she wants to do.” Clinton took an active role in the Clinton Foundation after leaving the Obama administration in 2013, although her position drew criticism in 2016 over possible conflicts of interest during the election campaign. At the same time, the foundation became known as the Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton Foundation, although it is primarily the responsibility of the former President and their daughter.

In February, the Express.co.uk reported the former presidential nominee had signed up with the Harry Walker Agency, the bureau through which she gave speeches ahead of her failed bid in last year’s election. She regularly commanded fees of at least £157,000 ($200,000) for her talks and could be set to receive even more given her increased profile in the wake of the election.

Clinton was regularly criticised for the huge payments she received for speeches ahead of her candidacy, including earning more than £530,000 ($675,000) at Goldman Sachs, which raised questions about her links with Wall Street. The Democrat reportedly received around £2.3million ($3million) for speeches after she stepped down as US Secretary of State in 2013, and could be set to earn even more this year. Clinton is also working on a book looking back at her experiences from the 18-month Presidential campaign.
