Bill Clinton was interviewed by NBC News, discussing Hillary’s run, their foundation, and the income he makes from speeches.
The Clintons have certainly stuck with the narrative of being average people. He defends his half million dollar speaking fees with “I gotta pay our bills,” and “it’s the most independence I can get.” While there in nothing wrong with his right to earn a living by fetching great sums for his appearances, the Clintons really need to stop pretending they are one of the “little people.” And whenever they get caught being rich, they throw in a something about being very fortunate, Bill’s hard to work to provide, the burden of legal bills, the need to pay for Chelsea’s Stanford education, or having mortgages to pay.
But the real gem from the interview is what Bill Clinton said about foreign donations going to their foundation, many of which came while Hillary was serving as Secretary of State. NBC reports that he said, “There is no doubt in my mind that we have never done anything knowingly inappropriate in terms of taking money to influence any kind of American government policy. That just hasn’t happened.”
