Clinton Family Slush Fund.

Travel expenses for the Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton Foundation for last year totaled more than $8 million, a greater amount than the nonprofit reported in previous years, according to Internal Revenue Service filings.
The filings, provided to POLITICO by the Republican research arm America Rising, are the first look at the foundation’s expenditures since it changed its name last year and was joined by Hillary Clinton after she left the State Department.

In order for the 88 percent claim to be even remotely close to the truth, the words “directly” and “life-changing” have to mean something other than “directly” and “life-changing.” For example, the Clinton Foundation spent nearly $8.5 million–10 percent of all 2013 expenditures–on travel. Do plane tickets and hotel accommodations directly change lives? Nearly $4.8 million–5.6 percent of all expenditures–was spent on office supplies. Are ink cartridges and staplers “life-changing” commodities?
Those two categories alone comprise over 15 percent of all Clinton Foundation expenses in 2013, and we haven’t even examined other spending categories like employee fringe benefits ($3.7 million), IT costs ($2.1 million), rent ($4 million) or conferences and conventions ($9.2 million). Yet, the tax-exempt organization claimed in its tweet that no more than 12 percent of its expenditures went to these overhead expenses.
How can both claims be true? Easy: they’re not. The claim from the Clinton Foundation that 88 percent of all expenditures go directly to life-changing work is demonstrably false. Office chairs do not directly save lives. The internet connection for the group’s headquarters does not directly change lives.

Former US President Bill Clinton’s charitable foundation spent more than $50 million on travel expenses over the past decade - $12.1 million of which was spent in just one year alone.
According to tax filings obtained by the New York Post, the William J. Clinton Foundation spent enough money on travel in 2011 to buy 12,000 plane tickets at the cost of $1,000 each, or 33 plane tickets each day. During that year alone, the foundation spent $4.2 million on travel, the Clinton Global Health Initiative spent $730,000, and the Clinton Health Action Initiative spent $7.2 million in travel costs.
Trips taken by the former president himself accounted for 13 percent of the 2010 travel budget and 10 percent of the 2011 travel budget, the Clinton Foundation told the Post. That means Mr. Clinton spent more than $1 million on his own travel costs in 2011.
