Former President Bill Clinton's foundations spent a total of $50million on travel over the past decade, $12.1million of which was spent in just one year. An internal investigation into spending at the various charities that the former President runs found that the funds used for travel costs have gone up in recent years. The audit comes as new reports have revealed that the Clinton Foundation has been 'in the red' for years even though the charity has raised hundreds of millions of dollars each year, showing the high cost of running the worldwide charity
Former President Bill Clinton called in a team of lawyers to help examine the charity's financial standing over a year ago and they drew some unsettling conclusions, and The New York Post reports that the internal audit documents point out their travel expenses as one costly factor. Since Bill Clinton left office in 2000, he helped create a network of charities that have a worldwide and ever-changing list of causes, from helping Haiti after the earthquake to water cleaning practices in Africa.
The amount spent by each arm of the charities was broken down by The Post for 2011, which was the latest fiscal year where such data was available. The Clinton Health Action Initiative was the biggest spender, paying $7.2million on travel in 2011, and the Clinton Foundation followed with $4.2million while the Clinton Global Health Initiative spent $730,000.
Of that $12.13million spent in 2011, 10 per cent was specified as being the cost of travel for the former President himself. Though the total travel fees from 2010 are still unknown, the former President's costs took up more of the allotment as they represent 13 per cent of the fees.

It’s so much easier for crooks to steal money than it is to give it to charity.
Most likely the cash cow ran out when Hellary quit State.
this is the ripoff of these “charitable foundations”.
The Clintons and other rich crooks donate the money, so it is an itemized deduction charitable contribution.
But the Clinton’s control how the foundation spends its money. So they have the foundation pay for their junkets, and any other expenses then can think of - and it’s all tax free, while the “little people” have to pay for their travel in after tax dollars !
With apologies to Andrew Lloyd Weber.....
And The Monkey Kept Rolling In (And Out) - From Evita
And the money kept rolling in from every side
Hillary’s pretty hands reached out and they reached wide
Now, you may feel it should have been a voluntary cause
But that’s not the point my friends
When the money keeps rolling in, you don’t ask how
Think of all the people guaranteed a good time now
Hillary’s called the hungry to her, open up the doors
Never been a fund like the foundation Hillary Clinton
Rollin’ rollin’ rollin’, rollin’ rollin’ rollin’
Rollin’ rollin’ rollin’, rollin’ rollin’ rollin’
Rollin’ rollin’ rollin’, rollin’ rollin’ rollin’
Rollin’ rollin’ rollin’, rollin’ rollin’ rollin’
Rollin’ on in, rollin’ on in
Rollin’ on in, rollin’ on in
On in
Would you like to try a college education?
Own your landlord’s house, take the family on vacation?
Hillary and her blessed fund can make your dreams come true
Here’s all you have to do my friends
Write your name and your dream on a card or a pad or a ticket
Throw it high in the air and should our lady pick it
She will change your way of life for a week or even two
Name me anyone who cares as much as Hillary Clinton
Rollin’ rollin’ rollin’, rollin’ rollin’ rollin’
Rollin’ rollin’ rollin’, rollin’ rollin’ rollin’
Rollin’ rollin’ rollin’, rollin’ rollin’ rollin’
Rollin’ rollin’ rollin’, rollin’ rollin’ rollin’
Rollin’ on out, rollin’ on out
Rollin’ on out, rollin’ on out
On out
And the money kept rolling out in all directions
To the poor, to the weak, to the destitute of all complexions
Now, cynics claim a little of the cash has gone astray
But that’s not the point my friends
When the money keeps rolling out you don’t keep books
You can tell you’ve done well by the happy grateful looks
Accountants only slow things down, figures get in the way
Never been a lady loved as much as Hillary Clinton
Rollin’ rollin’ rollin’, rollin’ rollin’ rollin’
Rollin’ rollin’ rollin’, rollin’ rollin’ rollin’
Rollin’ rollin’ rollin’, rollin’ rollin’ rollin’
Rollin’ rollin’ rollin’, rollin’ rollin’ rollin’
Rollin’ on out, rollin’ on out
Rollin’ on out, rollin’ on out
On out
$10 million for travel. $40 million in a bank account in the Cayman Islands.
The Zclintons are evil and crooked beyond words. I am glad I wont have to see it when they stand before God.
Lucky bastard.
don't know about that, but I'm wondering how much money it would take for the hildabeast to sell Chelsea or her grand children? everything has a price from hildabeast.
Talk about the decadent “Jet Set”....
I’m sure he hit on all the bridesmaids......
So did Hillary
ha ha, who had more success??
Of that $12.13million spent in 2011, 10 per cent was
specified as being the cost of travel for the former
President himself.
Wow, the Clinton's sure are having a good time with
with all of those charitable "donations." Just think
Bubba himself ran up $1.2+ million in "travel." I wonder
if those Arabs are getting their money's worth?
Well that’s how they do it in the government...!
Was she part of the Clinton foundation’s travel and entertainment expense?
Bill is laughing at all of America.
As an aside: I hope the women in the photo
(whose name I don't remember) wasn't unlucky enough
to catch a dose of herpes from Bubba. Shame.
