The Note: Clinton Clears Out Of Iowa

— -- NOTABLES

--CLINTON FOUNDATION TO END DONATIONS FROM SOME FOREIGN GOVERNMENTS: In light of the recent concerns about The Clinton Foundation's acceptance of money from foreign governments, the foundation has updated its policies and will now only accept money from six countries - Australia, Canada, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway and the U.K., according to ABC's LIZ KREUTZ. All other countries -- including Saudi Arabia -- will no longer be allowed to donate. The Foundation is going ahead with its Morocco event in May, but has cancelled an event in Athens in June.

--WHAT THE CLINTON FOUNDATION IS SAYING: "While it's common for global charities to receive international support, it's rare to find an organization as transparent as the Clinton Foundation. Our current policy already goes above and beyond what's required by voluntarily disclosing our more than 300,000 donors on our website for anyone to see."

--CLINTON SHIFTS POSITION ON SAME-SEX MARRIAGE -- SLIGHTLY: Hillary Clinton's campaign Wednesday says she hopes same-sex marriage will become a "constitutional right. This is a slight shift from her previous position on the issue, which was that it should be left to the states, ABC's LIZ KREUTZ notes. "Hillary Clinton supports marriage equality and hopes the Supreme Court will come down on the side of same-sex couples being guaranteed that constitutional right," Adrienne Elrod, spokesperson, Hillary for America. Last summer, in a testy interview with Terry Gross, Clinton said the issue of same-sex marriage "had always been a matter left to the states." Yesterday's statement was first reported by Buzzfeed News. It was provided to them after reporting that Clinton had not yet said whether she supported the Supreme Court's upcoming case - to determine whether all states must allow gay people to marry.

--CLINTON MEETS WITH IOWA DEMOCRATIC LEADERS: Yesterday, Hillary met with Democratic lawmakers from Iowa at the Iowa State Capitol in downtown Des Moines. Clinton traveled here directly following her meeting at the fruit production company. According to some of the meeting's attendees, including some Iowa state senators in the caucus, Clinton touched on immigration reform and called for universal Pre-K. One attendee described this particular meeting a "love fest," but also said this was like "a job interview" for Clinton. Not everyone is convinced yet, ABC's LIZ KREUTZ reports.

BEHIND-THE-SCENES: THE SECRET LIFE OF THE WHITE HOUSE PRESS CORPS.

THE SECRET LIVES OF THE GLOBETROTTING WHITE HOUSE PRESS CORPS (IT'S NOT AS GLAMOROUS AS YOU THINK). Covering the White House is an amazing honor and privilege and, sometimes -- as a recent trip to Panama for the Summit of the Americas proved -- a mad, harried scramble. Here's a behind-the-scenes look at what it's actually like to be part of the traveling press corps on a major international trip with President Obama from ABC's MARY BRUCE and HANK DISSELKAMP: http://abcn.ws/1CNSvgu VIDEO: http://abcn.ws/1GOseVz
