I guess the question , "Did the Saudi royal family give to the clinton library?" If he did that would seem to answer the question.
Answer to your question
YES big time
But their "excuse" was, "We always give to the presidential lie-bary"
Yes, the Saudi royal family gave to the Clinton library. When asked how much, the Clintons and their spokes people refuse to say how much. hmmmmmmm wonder why?
FYI, I think Tony Snow said he thought it was in the millions.
But no date or amount will ever be discussed until the paperwork has been created by the Clintons and their cronies.
Saudis, Arabs Funneled Millions to President Clinton's Library
By JOSH GERSTEIN
November 22, 2004
LITTLE ROCK, AR - President Clinton’s new $165 million library here was funded in part by gifts of $1 million or more each from the Saudi royal family and three Saudi businessmen.
The governments of Dubai, Kuwait, and Qatar and the deputy prime minister of Lebanon all also appear to have donated $1 million or more for the archive and museum that opened last week.
Democrats spent much of the presidential campaign this year accusing President Bush of improperly close ties to Saudi Arabia. The case was made in Michael Moore’s film “Fahrenheit 9/11,” in a bestselling book by Craig Unger titled “House of Bush, House of Saud,” and by the Democratic presidential candidate, Senator Kerry.”This administration delayed pressuring the Saudis,” Mr. Kerry said on October 20. “I will insist that the Saudis crack down on charities that funnel funds to terrorists… and on anti-American and anti-Israel hate speech.”The Media Fund, a Democratic group whose president is a former Clinton White House aide, Harold Ickes, spent millions airing television commercials in swing states with scripts such as, “The Saudi royal family…wealthy…powerful…corrupt. And close Bush family friends.”
Perhaps as a result, the Saudi donations to the Clinton library are raising some eyebrows. Mr. Unger said he suspects that the Saudi support may have something to do with a possible presidential bid by Senator Clinton in 2008.
“They want to keep their options open no matter who’s in power and whether that’s four years from now or whatever,” the author said. “Just a few million is nothing to them to keep their options open.”

Saudi $ for Clinton
WASHINGTON -- Bill Clinton not only received a $750,000 speaking fee for going to Saudi Arabia in January but came back with a hefty pledge for his presidential library in Little Rock, Ark., according to high-ranking Saudis. Estimates range from less than $1 million to $20 million.
A Clinton library spokesman told this column he had heard nothing about this contribution and would not tell us if he had. But Saudi sources say the pledge was made by the royal family, following a similar gift to the elder George Bush's presidential library. The Bush library lists a contribution by the family of Prince Bandar bin Sultan, Saudi ambassador to Washington, among "gifts of $1 million and above."
A footnote: Prince Talal bin Abdul Aziz, chairman of the Arab Gulf Fund for the United Nations, attacked Clinton's visit to Saudi Arabia because of the former president's pro-Israeli views. Talal often dissents from the royal family's mainstream.

Saudis, Arabs Bankrolled Clinton Library
The names of most of the 113,000 donors to Bill Clinton's presidential library remain a closely guarded secret, but a new report claims that the facility was heavily funded by the Saudi royal family and other wealthy Arabs.
According to Monday's New York Sun, the $165 million complex was funded in part by gifts of $1 million or more each from the Saudi royals and three Saudi businessmen.
The governments of Dubai, Kuwait and Qatar and the deputy prime minister of Lebanon also appear to have donated $1 million or more for the archive and museum that opened last week, the paper said.
News of the Saudi cash infusions confirms a report by columnist Robert Novak, who revealed in 2003 that the Saudis had pledged up to $20 million to help build the Clinton facility.
In January 2002, Clinton traveled to Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, to speak before a conference of Middle Eastern businessmen organized by the Saudi BinLaden Group, the powerful construction conglomerate run by the family of Osama bin Laden.
Clinton was paid $267,000 for his appearance, according to reports in the Financial Times and Middle Eastern news services.
The Sun used a database at the library that lists 57 donors as "Trustees" - people who gave $1 million or more to help build the facility - to track the Middle Eastern contributions.
