Hillary and Bill Clinton funneled 96 percent of their charitable donations to their own family foundation, according to the Democratic nominee’s 2015 tax returns.
Last year, $1 million of the total $1,042,000 that the Clintons deducted in charitable contributions went to the Clinton Family Foundation, the Daily Caller reported Friday.
The tax return showed that the other $42,000 in contributions went to Desert Classic Charities, a nonprofit that organizes an annual charity golf tournament. The organization then in turn contributed $700,000 to the Clinton Foundation. A foundation adviser and longtime Bill Clinton assistant, Doug Band, was on the organization’s board of directors through 2014, according to IRS filings.
The Clintons earned in total more than $10.5 million in 2015, primarily from paid speeches. Less than 10 percent of their total income went to charity.
Clinton released her tax returns Friday as pressure builds on Donald Trump to follow suit. The Republican nominee has argued that he cannot release his returns because he is being audited by the IRS.
An IRS official told the Washington Post in April that there was no reason Trump could not release his tax returns prior to 2009.

Bill Clinton Finally Speaks Out About Hillary’s Email Scandal And It’s Bad
Trump should call it the “Clinton Crime Family Slush Fund” instead of the Clinton Foundation.
Actually, it’s worse than that.
$1,042,000 out x 34 percent tax bracket (I’m guessing you’re correct there) = $354,280 tax credit
Plus 1 million to their own foundation
PLUS 700,000 back from the golf charity
$2,054,280 what with tax deductions and 1.7 million to their own “charity”.
The $42k the xlintonista regime donated to the desert classic golf tournament was just enough of a good faith effort so desert classic board member doug band could justify funnelling $700k from the tournament proceeds back the the xlinton foundation.
Doug Band was bubbas butt boy before he broke off on his own to set up the financial consulting firm, teneo.
Band’s company, teneo is bassically acting as. An influence for hire bag man who earns his fees by getting stuff done thru hildabeast state dept.
In fact. Band/teneo actually went so far as to have huma abedin on the teneo payroll at the same time she was working for the us gummit dept of state when hildabeast was running her high stakes scam
Well, isn’t THAT convenient?
And the leftstream media says, “So What!”
To entice them to give to the Clinton Foundation.
Take the NAMES of ALL the so called “reporters” that only report that they gave all this money to CHARITY and NOT SAYING it was the CLINTON FAMILY CHARITY!!!!! they gave nothing to a real charity!!!
So, they take money out of their left pocket, put it in their right pocket.
Then take a tax deduction and pats on the back for being generous.
Yeah, that’s it !
Take a look at the Clinton Foundation Website...there’s pictures everywhere of Bill & Chelsea surround by black people that they’ve been “helping”. Almost like they’re trying to prove that they’re not really racist...
However, the Clintons bought a home in one of the WHITEST parts of New York: Chappaqua.
And the Clintons promotion of NAFTA, Open Borders, and Planned Parenthood has done nothing but made life worse for Blacks in America.
We should all set up our own “family foundations”, put almost all our yearly incomes in it, claim it as a charitable donation, and then live off it.
I heard Kaine saying that the reason Donald hasn’t turned over his tax return is because he has something to hide. Unbelievable.
Shouldn’t that read Clinton GRAFT Operation?
Can we just jail these two, they have no problem going after the mafia

that’s a great idea!
as the xlintonistas always say: everybody does it.
Is this a valid report, or BS from the spin machine?
I “can” believe it, but I didn’t think she was stupid enough to do it!
