Book Claims the Clintons Had Questionable Financial Relationship With Laureate University
The hits from the new book ‘Clinton Cash’ just keep coming.
Geoff Earle of the New York Post reported.
University paid Bill while Hillary steered State Dept. money to its nonprofit affiliate: book
Bill Clinton collected hefty speaking fees as the “honorary chairman” of a for-profit university, but suddenly ended his relationship last week after Hillary Rodham Clinton attacked for-profit colleges and the money flow to Bill was threatened.
The new book “Clinton Cash” says government grants to the school’s nonprofit affiliate soared when Hillary became secretary of state.
As Bubba played pitchman for Baltimore-based Laureate University, the State Department steered a $1.9 million grant to the nonprofit, the book claims.
“Isn’t it troubling that while Bill Clinton was being paid by a private corporation, the corporation was also benefiting from State Department actions . . . Isn’t it troubling that this seeming conflict of interest was not disclosed?” writes author Peter Schweizer.
Bill Clinton severed his ties to the university last week — just days after Hillary, on the campaign trail in Iowa, charged that some for-profit colleges were ripping off students.
She said on April 14 that it was important to look at “some of the for-profit schools, some of the scandals that have arisen in these places where they take all the money and put all these young people and their families into debt.”
