The Jewish Chronicle revealed last week that concerns were expressed during the London visit of US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton over Conservative links to far-right European groups and Polish MEP Michal Kaminski.

The Guardian and The Times ran stories after the coverage, focussing on what Mrs Clinton’s concerns will mean for the meeting between her and Shadow Foreign Secretary William Hague in Washington.

Disclosure of Washington’s concerns comes on the day William Hague, the Shadow Foreign Secretary, arrives in the US capital for talks with Mrs Clinton. A source close to the State Department said: “Hillary always likes to ask questions and, as she is such a candid person in these meetings, I would be surprised if she did not ask Hague to explain the position.”
