Clinton Charity Begins At Home By California Yankee Posted in 2008 \| Charity \| Hillary Clinton \| tax returns — Comments (0) / Email this page » / Leave a comment » After I posted about the Clintons becoming the $109 million couple, Dan McLaughlin noted that Hillary and Bill took tax write-offs totaling $10.2 million in charitable contributions. Dan wondered if we know how many of those charities are run by Bill Clinton? The answer is not exactly. Most of the charitable contributions went to the Clinton Family Foundation, and a portion was even distributed to charitable causes. This is the same Clinton Family Foundation that Hillary failed to disclose as required by the Ethics in Government Act. The foundation was kept off of Hillary's Senate disclosure forms for six years. The family foundation is based at the Clintons' Chappaqua, N.Y., home. Bill Clinton serves as its president, Hillary Clinton as secretary and treasurer, and daughter Chelsea as a director. Between 2001 and 2006, the Clintons put about $6 million into the foundation. The Clintons took a tax write-off for that money even though the foundation only gave away gave away about $2.5 million to other charities. The Clinton Family Foundation gave $25,000 to the McGovern Library and Center for Leadership and Public Service in Mitchell, S.D., in early 2007. Did that have anything to do with McGovern's endorsement of Hillary in October? According to the Post, McGovern says no: It was the furthest thought when I decided to endorse Hillary last October. redstate.com
