For-Profit Activity of President Clinton (i.e., Bill Clinton, Inc.)

Independent of our fundraising and decision-making activities on behalf of
the Foundation, we have dedicated ourselves to helping the President secure
and engage in for-profit activities – including speeches, books, and advisory
service engagements. In that context, we have in effect served as agents,
lawyers, managers and implementers to secure speaking, business and
advisory service deals. In support of the President’s for-profit activity, we
also have solicited and obtained, as appropriate, in-kind services for the
President and his family – for personal travel, hospitality, vacation and the
like. Neither Justin nor I are separately compensated for these activities
(e.g., we do not receive a fee for, or percentage11 of, the more than $50
million in for-profit activity we have personally helped to secure for
President Clinton to date or the $66 million in future contracts, should he
choose to continue with those engagements).
With respect to business deals for his advisory services, Justin and I found,
developed and brought to President Clinton multiple arrangements for him
to accept or reject. Of his current 4 arrangements, we secured all of them;
and, we have helped manage and maintain all of his for-profit business
relationships. Since 2001, President Clinton’s business arrangements have
yielded more than $30 million for him personally, with $66 million to be
paid out over the next nine years should he choose to continue with the
current engagements.
