Mark Penn, whose firm's relationship to the South American nation of Colombia has been called into question, has resigned as Hillary Clinton's chief strategist. However his consulting firm will still be retained by Clinton's campaign.
Friday, Penn acknowledged he had a meeting with the Colombian ambassador to the United States earlier in the week in his role as his firm's (Burson-Marstellers) chief to discuss the pending U.S.-Colombia trade pact, which Clinton has been highly critical of on the stump.
Clinton's campaign had paid Penn's political consulting firm, Penn, Schoen and Berland, more than $6 million by the end of February and owed the firm $2.5 million, according to her campaign finance reports.
