Hillary Clinton's daughter Chelsea allegedly used resources from the Clinton Foundation for her wedding, a new dump of Wikileaks emails appear to reveal.

In several emails, Doug Band, a former top aide to president Bill Clinton and a former Clinton Global Initiative board member, complains about Chelsea Clinton (writing 'cvc' for Chelsea Victoria Clinton).

Chelsea Clinton's wedding (pictured) is estimated to have cost about $3 million, but it is unclear what kind of resources were used toward the wedding and how much money - if any - was used

In one email, dated January 1, 2012, Band emails John Podesta, Chairman of the 2016 Hillary Clinton presidential campaign, and says Chelsea Clinton was conducting an internal investigation into CGI and the Clinton Foundation, which posed a conflict of interest.

It is unclear why Chelsea Clinton was investigating her family's foundation and its dealings with money.

But the emails appear to reveal that Chelsea Clinton told one of former president George W Bush's daughters about the investigation, which put the information into the hands of the GOP - what Band referred to as a 'conflict of interest'.

It is not known which daughter Chelsea Clinton told this information to or why she disclosed that she was conducting the internal investigation.

The email from Band reads: 'I just received a call from a close friend of (William Jefferson Clinton) who said that cvc told one of the (George W Bush) kids that she is conducting an internal investigation of money within the foundation from cgi to the foundation.

'The bush kid then told someone else who then told an operative within the republican party.

'I have heard more and more chatter of cvc and (Bari Lurie, chief of staff to Chelsea Clinton at the Clinton Foundation) talking about lots of what is going on internally to people. Not smart,' he wrote.

Podesta replied calling his comments an 'understatement'.

Band replies: 'I learned from the best. The investigation into her getting paid for campaigning, using foundation resources for her wedding and life for a decade, taxes on money from her parents ...

'I hope that you will speak to her and end this. Once we go down this road....,' Band wrote ominously.

Chelsea Clinton's wedding is estimated to have cost about $3 million, but is unclear how much money or resources went from the Foundation to the wedding and what it went toward, if in fact, funds were used.

The FBI is allegedly looking into the dealings of the Clinton Foundation, but it is unclear what - if anything - is being investigated.

Hillary Clinton has also previously said emails she deleted from her private server were related to Chelsea's wedding, according to FOX News.

The Clinton Foundation is also going through the process of an internal audit and is trying to separate itself from Teneo, an advisory firm and investment banking platform company launched in part by Band in summer 2011.

An 11-page email released by Wikileaks from Band said that Teneo was meant to enrich the Clinton Foundation and in one email writes he 'sought to leverage my activities, including my partner role at Teneo, to support and to raise funds for the Foundation'.

Later in that 11-page email, Band writes about Marc Lasry, a billionaire hedge fund manager who Chelsea Clinton once worked for, as a good example of 'the complex relationships a friend/supporter can have within the foundation', according to FOX News.

Lasry held fundraisers for the Clinton Foundation while Band was an adviser to Lasry's firm, Avenue Capital, and on its payroll.

Lasry's firm also is the publisher for the National Enquirer.

'He has been helpful on a number of fronts, including … responding favorably to our requests to use his plane for Foundation and the Clintons’ personal purposes, killing potential unfavorable stories in the Enquirer (of which he owns a controlling share of the debt)…' Band wrote in one email, according to FOX News.

After this email went out, lawyers from Simpson, Thacher & Bartlett LLP, who were hired to conduct an internal audit of the Foundation, recommended a conflict-of-interest policy be implemented since the charity did not appear to have one.
