 Bill and Hill's Latest Intrigue
What is it about the Clintons and money? When it comes to Bill and Hillary's finances, there's always a sordid little back story - and loads of unanswered questions. And that's precisely the case with more than $500 million that's been donated to the William J. Clinton Foundation.

What is it about the Clintons and money? When it comes to Bill and Hillary's finances, there's always a sordid little back story - and loads of unanswered questions. And that's precisely the case with more than $500 million that's been donated to the William J. Clinton Foundation. Hillary and her hubby are now facing numerous - and entirely justified - queries about all the cash Bill is raking in for his charitable foundation and presidential library. But the former prez apparently doesn't want Americans to know who's behind all that cash. He says he can't disclose their names because of confidentiality agreements. Well, that just doesn't cut it: With his wife a sitting senator and a presidential candidate, the opportunities for influence-peddling are great. Bill Clinton may not be the only ex-president who's shielded his benefactors. But, as part of a husband-wife team seeking a return to the White House, even he acknowledges that there are legitimate "questions about whether people would try to win favor with her by giving money to me." With that in mind, The New York Times put together a list of 97 people who gave some $69 million toward the library before Bill Clinton left office. It turns out that some were longtime Clinton friends. But others were folks who'd lobbied the administration for policy changes. Still others were under investigation by the Clinton Justice Department. Moreover, the paper's research showed, many of the foundation's donors have since been hit up for contributions to the Hillary for President campaign. (That shouldn't surprise, of course: Terry McAuliffe, who headed the foundation's fundraising efforts, now chairs Hillary's campaign. Cheryl Mills, who sits on the foundation's board, is the campaign's general counsel. And Jay Carson, the foundation's former communications director, serves as the campaign's press secretary.)
