96 Percent Of Hillary’s Charitable Donations In 2015 Went To Clinton Foundation [Slime-on! Hillary TM]
96 percent of the roughly one million dollars given to charity by Bill and Hillary Clinton in 2015 was given to the Clinton Family Foundation, a tax-exempt charity controlled by the Clintons.
According to the tax return released by the Clinton campaign Friday, Desert Classic Charities received $42,000 from the Clintons while the Clinton Family Foundation received a cool million. But as the Daily Caller points out, The Desert Classic Charities in turn contributed $700,000 to the second Clinton charity, the Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton Foundation.
The Clintons’ charitable work has been the source of controversy ever since the publication of the 2015 book Clinton Cash, which alleged that many of the other Clinton Foundation’s big donations from foreign and domestic actors coincided with beneficial decisions by Hillary Clinton’s State Department. The Clinton campaign has hotly denied those allegations as pure speculation without any evidence.
Meanwhile, The Daily Caller reports Friday that FBI has started multiple probes into the second Clinton Foundation with the help of the U.S. Attorney’s Office in the Southern District of New York. That report comes after CNN reported Wednesday that the Justice Department had turned down the FBI’s request to open a probe into the potential conflict of interest.

Bill and Hillary Clinton gave $1,042,000 to charity in 2015. One million of it went to the Clinton Foundation. As Mother Jones reports: “Clinton’s tax filings show that she and Bill Clinton donated just over $1 million to charity last year, the bulk of which went to the Clinton Foundation.
Another, $42,000 was donated to the Desert Classic Charities, a non-profit that organizes the Carebuilder Challenge charity golf tournament with the Clinton Foundation. In total, the Clinton’s gave nearly 10 percent of their income to charity.”
But is it really charity to give unto oneself?
As the Daily Caller notes, 96 percent of their charitable funds went to their own Foundation, and the other 4 percent went to a group that Doug Band, a Clinton Foundation adviser and Bill Clinton’s longtime assistant, served on the board of directors.
