“DEAD BROKE” VERIFICATION
“We came out of the White House not only dead broke but in debt.”
VIDEO: In A 2014 Interview, Clinton Said That She And Bill Were “Dead Broke” When They Left The White House And “Struggled” To Pay “For Mortgages, For Houses.” ABC’s
DIANE SAWYER: “It has been reported you’ve made $5 million making speeches. The President’s
made more than $100 million.” HILLARY CLINTON: “We came out of the White House not only dead broke, but in debt. We had no money when we got there, and we struggled to, you know, piece together the resources for mortgages, for houses, for Chelsea’s education. You know, it was not easy.” (ABC News, 6/9/14)
“It didn’t last long. A foundation was created, and money started to roll – speeches,
connections and donations.”
Origins Of The Clinton Foundation And The Clinton Global Initiative
In 2001, President Clinton Established His Post-Presidential Office And The Clinton
Foundation In Harlem, New York City. “During the same time CHAI began its work, President
Clinton established his post-presidential office in the iconic neighborhood of Harlem in New York
City, where he saw a great opportunity for his Foundation to help empower local small business
owners.” (Clinton Foundation, Accessed 12/20/13)
The Clinton Global Initiative (CGI) Was Launched In 2005 To “Convene World Leaders,
Forward-Looking CEOs, And Philanthropists To Commit To Take Acton On Pressing
Global Challenges.” “After a lifetime of attending meetings where issues were discussed but no
action was taken, the Clinton Global Initiative began in September 2005 to convene world leaders,
forward-looking CEOs, and philanthropists to commit to take action on pressing global challenges.
Over the course of eight annual meetings, members have made nearly 2,300 commitments totaling
$73.5 billion that will improve more than 400 million lives.” (Clinton Foundation, Accessed 12/20/13)
• Doug Band Served As The Personal Aide – The “Body Man” – To President Clinton In
The White House. “Twelve years earlier, at the age of 27, Band had entered Clinton’s orbit as
that lowliest of Washington archetypes: the body man. He was the all-purpose aide who carried the
bags, provided the pen, watched the clock, kept the cigars close, and ensured the Diet Cokes were
always chilled.” (Alec MacGillis, “Scandal At Clinton Inc.,” The New Republic, 9/22/13)
• Band Came Up With The Idea For The Clinton Global Initiative (CGI), Which Was
Established In 2005, While Seeing Many Executives And Wealthy Individuals Excited
To See President Clinton In Davos. “As Begala tells it, the idea came to Band at that font of
grand ideas, Davos. Given that Clinton’s political stock was still languishing, Band was ‘astonished
with the billionaires and CEOs standing in line to talk to him,’ Begala says. ‘He was rigorously
assessing the president’s strengths and attributes and maximizing them. I remember him saying,
‘The president has a convening power, the power to bring people together.’ ‘Why not create an
annual event that harnessed the desire of wealthy celebrities to get close to Clinton to advance the

aims of his foundation?’ Thus, in 2005, the Clinton Global Initiative (CGI) was born.” (Alec MacGillis,
“Scandal At Clinton Inc.,” The New Republic, 9/22/13)
• Band “Solicited Pledges From Wealthy Donors And Doled Out Access To Clinton”
And Discovered CGI Was Also “A Huge Business.” “As for Band, he was right where he’d
always wanted to be. He solicited pledges from wealthy donors and doled out access to Clinton. He
determined who got to be on stage with him and for how long, who got into the photo line, who
rode on the plane. ‘If you look at CGI, it was an idea, and now it’s a huge business,’ says the Clinton
friend. ‘[Band] started realizing he had all this talent on the business side.’ More than that, Band
came to see entrepreneurial opportunities embedded within CGI itself. ‘When they were raising
money for the foundation, Doug was the one who kept the tabs and the lists and cut the deals,’ says
the former White House colleague. ‘And Doug is very transactional.’” (Alec MacGillis, “Scandal At Clinton Inc.,”
The New Republic, 9/22/13)
By 2013, The Clinton Foundation Had Raised Over $2 Billion
The William J. Clinton Presidential Foundation Was Incorporated In 1997 With The
Objective Of Raising $165 Million For Clinton’s Presidential Library, In Little Rock. “The
Clinton Foundation has had two lives. When it was incorporated as the nonprofit William J. Clinton
Presidential Foundation in 1997, more than three years before Mr. Clinton left office, its primary
mission was to raise $165 million to build his sleek presidential library in Little Rock, Ark.” (Kevin
Sack and Sheri Fink, “For Clinton Foundation, Big Gains In Rwanda, Despite Pitfalls,” The New York
Times, 10/18/15)
By 2013, The Clinton Foundation Collected Over $2.1 Billion In Revenue, Including
From Major Corporations And Foreign Governments, To Support An “Ever-Evolving
Menu Of Projects.” “After the library opened in 2004, the foundation pivoted to an ever-evolving
menu of projects, and to the fund-raising needed to support them. By 2013, it had collected $2.1
billion in revenue, tax filings and financial statements show, with significant donations coming from
major corporations, foreign individuals and governments like Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Australia and
Norway.” (Kevin Sack and Sheri Fink, “For Clinton Foundation, Big Gains In Rwanda, Despite Pitfalls,” The New York Times, 10/18/15)
From Its Creation In 2001 To The End Of 2014, The Clinton Foundation Raised Almost
$2 Billion. “Since its creation in 2001, the Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton Foundation has raised
close to $2 billion from a vast global network that includes corporate titans, political donors, foreign
governments and other wealthy interests, according to a Washington Post review of public records
and newly released contribution data. … Foundation tax records show that it reported raising $1.69
billion in cash and pledges between 2001 and 2013, the last year for which documents are available.
As of the end of 2014, donations reached nearly $2 billion, foundation officials confirmed.” (Rosalind S.

and other groups, despite an ethics agreement in which the charity promised to annually disclose
its donors. The money was collected as fees from speeches by Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton and
was tallied internally as ‘revenue’ rather than donations, which is why the funds had not been
included in the foundation’s past public listings of contributors, according to foundation officials.”

“DEAD BROKE” ADDITIONAL RESEARCH BACKUP
CLINTON FOUNDATION A “SLUSH FUND” FOR THE CLINTONS
The Clinton Foundation Has Come Under Scrutiny For Only Spending A Fraction Of Its
Funds On Direct Aid, And Has Been Called A “Slush Fund For The Clintons” By
Watchdog Groups
The Clinton Foundation Has Been Described As Functioning “Both To Do Good Deeds
And To Enhance The Clinton Brand …” “Clearly, the Clinton Foundation functions both to do
good deeds and to enhance the Clinton brand, never more so than while Hillary Rodham Clinton is
running for president. But from the start, her campaign has been nagged by concerns about how the
foundation raises its money. Far less attention has been paid to how that money is spent.” (Kevin Sack and
Sheri Fink, “For Clinton Foundation, Big Gains In Rwanda, Despite Pitfalls,” The New York Times, 10/18/15)
The Sunlight Foundation’s Bill Allison: “It Seems Like The Clinton Foundation
Operates As A Slush Fund For The Clintons.” “Other nonprofit experts are asking hard
questions about the Clinton Foundation’s tax filings in the wake of recent reports that the Clintons
traded influence for donations. ‘It seems like the Clinton Foundation operates as a slush fund for the
Clintons,’ said Bill Allison, a senior fellow at the Sunlight Foundation, a government watchdog group
once run by leading progressive Democrat and Fordham Law professor Zephyr Teachout.” (Isabel Vincent,
“Charity Watchdog: Clinton Foundation A ‘Slush Fund,’” New York Post, 4/26/15)
In April 2015, It Was Reported That “The Nation’s Most Influential Charity Watchdog”
Put The Clinton Foundation On Its “Watch List” Of Problematic Nonprofits In March;
In 2013, While It Took In More Than $140 Million In Pledges And Grants, It Only Spent
$9 Million On Direct Aid. “The Clinton Foundation’s finances are so messy that the nation’s most
influential charity watchdog put it on its ‘watch list’ of problematic nonprofits last month. The Clinton
family’s mega-charity took in more than $140 million in grants and pledges in 2013 but spent just $9
million on direct aid. The group spent the bulk of its windfall on administration, travel, and salaries
and bonuses, with the fattest payouts going to family friends. On its 2013 tax forms, the most recent
available, the foundation claimed it spent $30 million on payroll and employee benefits; $8.7 million
in rent and office expenses; $9.2 million on ‘conferences, conventions and meetings’; $8 million on
fundraising; and nearly $8.5 million on travel. None of the Clintons is on the payroll, but they do
enjoy first-class flights paid for by the foundation.” (Isabel Vincent, “Charity Watchdog: Clinton Foundation A ‘Slush Fund,’”
New York Post, 4/26/15)
• Charity Navigator, The Nonprofit Watchdog, Criticized The Clinton Foundation For
Their Organizational Structure And Had Listed It On A “Watch List” Of “Problematic
Charities.” “Charity Navigator, which rates nonprofits, recently refused to rate the Clinton
Foundation because its ‘atypical business model . . . doesn’t meet our criteria.’ Charity Navigator
put the foundation on its ‘watch list,’ which warns potential donors about investing in problematic
charities. The 23 charities on the list include the Rev. Al Sharpton’s troubled National Action
Network, which is cited for failing to pay payroll taxes for several years.” (Isabel Vincent, “Charity Watchdog:
Clinton Foundation A ‘Slush Fund,’” New York Post, 4/26/15)

• In 2013, The Clinton Foundation Spent “Far Below The 75 Percent Rate Of Spending
That Nonprofit Experts Say A Good Charity Should Spend On Its Mission.” “In all, the
group reported $84.6 million in ‘functional expenses’ on its 2013 tax return and had more than
$64 million left over — money the organization has said represents pledges rather than actual cash
on hand. Some of the tens of millions in administrative costs finance more than 2,000 employees,
including aid workers and health professionals around the world. But that’s still far below the 75
percent rate of spending that nonprofit experts say a good charity should spend on its mission.”
(Isabel Vincent, “Charity Watchdog: Clinton Foundation A ‘Slush Fund,’” New York Post, 4/26/15)
NOTE: On December 22, 2015, Charity Navigator Said It Had Removed The Foundation
From Its Watch List. “Charity Navigator said Tuesday it has removed the Bill, Hillary & Chelsea
Clinton Foundation from its watch list, a red flag used by the charity watchdog to signal to donors that
questions have been raised about a group’s operations. The move comes a little more than a month
after the foundation filed its 2014 Form 990, as well as amended returns for the previous four years,
to the IRS.” (Megan O’Neil, “Charity Navigator Removes Clinton Foundation From Watch List,” The Chronicle Of Philanthropy, 12/22/15)
CLINTON FOUNDATION PAYING FOR THE CLINTONS’ TRAVEL
From 2003 To 2012, The Clinton Foundation Spent More Than $50 Million On Travel
From 2003 To 2012, The Clinton Foundation Spent More Than $50 Million On Travel.
“Bill Clinton’s foundation has spent more than $50 million on travel expenses since 2003, an analysis
of the non-profit’s tax forms reveal.” (Geoff Earle, “Bill Clinton Foundation Has Spent More Than $50 Million On Travel Expenses,”

• “None Of The Clintons Is On The [Foundation] Payroll, But They Do Enjoy FirstClass Flights Paid For By The Foundation.” (Isabel Vincent, “Charity Watchdog: Clinton Foundation A ‘Slush
Fund,’” New York Post, 4/26/15)
• Neither Bill Nor Chelsea Clinton Receives A Salary From The Foundation, Although
Their Transportation And Expenses On Foundation Business Are Compensated.
“Neither Mr. Clinton nor Chelsea Clinton receives a salary, although transportation and expenses
are covered when they travel on foundation business. Mrs. Clinton has been in public office for
most of the foundation’s life. She joined the board after leaving the State Department in 2013,
when the foundation’s name was expanded to include hers and Chelsea’s, but resigned in April
when she announced her candidacy for president.” (Kevin Sack and Sheri Fink, “For Clinton Foundation, Big Gains In
Rwanda, Despite Pitfalls,” The New York Times, 10/18/15)
• “It’s Impossible To Discern From Tax Filings How The Total Travel Costs Were
Reached, Although The Former President Is Known To Rack Up His Personal Miles
On Private Jets.” (Geoff Earle, “Bill Clinton Foundation Has Spent More Than $50M On Travel Expenses,” New York Post, 8/20/13)
Travel Expenses For The Foundation Dramatically Increased After Hillary And Chelsea
Joined The Board
In 2013, The Clinton Foundation Spent More Than $8 Million On Travel Expenses,
Which Amounted To 10 Percent Of Total Expenses For The Foundation. “Travel expenses

www.RebuildingAmericaNow.com
for the Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton Foundation for last year totaled more than $8 million, a
greater amount than the nonprofit reported in previous years, according to Internal Revenue Service
filings. The filings, provided to POLITICO by the Republican research arm America Rising, are the
first look at the foundation’s expenditures since it changed its name last year and was joined by
Hillary Clinton after she left the State Department. The travel costs were $8.448 million, according to
the 990 forms the foundation filed with the IRS. America Rising obtained a copy at the Clinton
Presidential Center in Little Rock, Ark. That figure was about 5 percent of the more than the $145
million the Clinton Foundation raised last year, but 10 percent of its expenses.”” (Maggie Haberman, “Clinton
Foundation Reports Spike In Travel Expenses,” Politico, 11/20/14)
“The Travel Expenses Were Nearly Double The Total In Previous Years.” “In notes in the
filing, foundation officials referred to specific travel requirements for the three Clintons. ‘The Board
recognizes that, due to extraordinary security and other requirements, William J. Clinton, Hillary
Rodham Clinton, and Chelsea Clinton may require the need to travel by charter or in first class, the
determination of which will be made on a case-by-case basis,’ it says. All three Clintons had not been
members of the board in previous years, and the note was added after Bill and Hillary Clinton joined.
The travel expenses were nearly double the total in previous years. The filing indicates that the
increase was related to the Clinton Global Initiative, which was spun off as a separate entity during
the four years Hillary Clinton was secretary of state to avoid conflicts of interest, then reincorporated
last year into the foundation.” (Maggie Haberman, “Clinton Foundation Reports Spike In Travel Expenses,” Politico, 11/20/14)
The Clinton Foundation Ran Multimillion-Dollar Deficits “While Funding Glitzy Events
And Worldwide Travel By Its Leaders.” “Former president Bill Clinton responded to public
scrutiny about the operations of his charitable foundation, issuing a lengthy public letter Friday
afternoon explaining the organization's finances and management overhaul. Clinton's letter is an
attempt to calm the foundation's donors and partners after an extensive report Wednesday in the New
York Times documented tensions and conflicts of interest inside and outside the Bill, Hillary and
Chelsea Clinton Foundation. The Times reported that the nonprofit foundation ran multimilliondollar deficits over several years while funding glitzy events and worldwide travel by its leaders.” (Philip
Rucker, “Bill Clinton Defends Foundation’s Finances Amid Public Scrutiny,” The Washington Post, 8/16/13)
Bill Clinton Has Used Travel Paid For By The Clinton Foundation For Trips That The
Clinton Family Personally Profits From
Bill Clinton’s Trips Accounted For 10 Percent Of The Overall Travel Expenses In 2011,
Meaning That The Foundation Paid More Than $1 Million For Bill’s Travel That Year.
“According to previously undisclosed data provided by the Clinton Foundation, presidential trips
accounted for 13 percent of the 2010 travel budget and 10 percent of the 2011 travel budget. That puts
Bill Clinton’s single-year travel tab for 2011 at more than $1 million. A foundation official wouldn’t say
how many presidential trips occurred in that time frame.” (Geoff Earle, “Bill Clinton Foundation Has Spent More Than $50
Million On Travel Expenses,” New York Post, 8/20/13)
According To Clinton Foundation Spokesman Ben Yarrow, Bill Clinton’s Trips Typically
Mix Clinton Foundation Work And Paid Events. “‘President Clinton travels on both private
and commercial aircraft, including Mr. Giustra's,’ [Ben] Yarrow said. ‘When President Clinton travels,
his trips typically include multiple activities: foundation related, paid speeches, official, etc.’” (Elliot Blair

said Clinton's staff constructs his schedule to pack as much charitable work as possible -- along
with political events helpful to Democrats -- around his for-profit speaking career. ‘We take a look
at the schedule and say, All right, he has to be in this place for that paid speech. There are these
three or four great things we've been meaning to do in this place. Let's do them,’” Carson said. (John

On A 2006 Trip To Asia For Charitable Work Helping Tsunami And Aids Victims,
Clinton Tacked On Three Days Of Paid Speaking Engagements That Earned Him
$750,000. “Likewise, in February 2006, Clinton headed to Asia for charitable work to help tsunami
and AIDS victims. At the last minute, the State Department asked him to squeeze in a visit to
Pakistan, helping ease tensions among Muslims angered by political cartoons they considered
insulting. He then tacked on three days of paid engagements in Australia and New Zealand that
earned him about $750,000.” (John Solomon and Matthew Mosk, “For Clinton, New Wealth In Speeches,” The Washington Post,

As Of July 2014, Saudi Arabia Had Given The Clinton Foundation At Least $18 Million
And, While Hillary Clinton Was Secretary Of State, Bill Clinton Earned $600,000 From
Saudi Businesses For Just Two Speeches. “Saudi Arabia, for example, was a key Clinton
benefactor. The oil-producing giant has had a relationship with the Clintons dating back to Bill
Clinton’s time as governor of Arkansas. In 1992, while running for president, then-Gov. Clinton
secured a $3.5 million Saudi donation for a Middle East studies program at the University of
Arkansas. A few weeks after Clinton was inaugurated president, the Saudis kicked in another $20
million. Both deals were brokered by a close Clinton friend, David Edwards. Overall, the Clinton
Foundation has received staggering sums from Saudi benefactors — between $18 million and $50
million. (The foundation’s donations are reported in ranges, not specific numbers.) While Hillary
Clinton served as secretary of state, Bill Clinton gave two speeches in Saudi Arabia, earning a total of
$600,000. In January 2011, for example, Bill Clinton spoke at a global business forum in Riyadh
founded by the Saudi Investment Authority and sponsored by the Dabbagh Group, a commercial
colossus with close ties to the Saudi royal family. His fee for the speech: $300,000.” (Luke Rosiak and Micah

American Chamber Of Commerce In Egypt, An Event Whose Co-Sponsors Included
“Etisalat, A Large Middle Eastern Telecommunications Company Whose Majority
Owner Is The Government Of The United Arab Emirates.” “Bill Clinton disclosed the
additional information as part of a voluntary ethics process undertaken when Hillary Clinton became
secretary of state. He agreed to seek State Department approval of his paid speaking engagements to
avoid conflicts of interest for his wife. The correspondence between Bill Clinton’s office and the State
Department was released in July after the conservative group Judicial Watch sought the records,
ultimately filing suit to force their release. Hillary Clinton was not obligated to disclose the subsponsors in her annual filings. The State Department’s correspondence with Bill Clinton’s office
provides the only indication of the additional interests that helped support the former president’s
paid speaking career. In 2010, for instance, Hillary Clinton disclosed that her husband had been paid
$250,000 to address the American Chamber of Commerce in Egypt. But Bill Clinton’s office alerted
the State Department that other sponsors for the event were proposed to include Etisalat, a large
