Hilly Mae Broke Federal Law. Did Not Report $400,000 Gift

Clinton has broken many laws over the course of her time in the federal government. One of these was exposed by a Wikileaks email that documented how she failed to report gifts to her husband, former President Bill Clinton, the U.K. Daily Mail reported.

“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,” wrote Doug Band, a Clinton aid, in a 2011 memo.
According to the leaked memo, Ericsson, a telecommunications company, gave Bill Clinton $400,000 for use of a private plane, as well as $750,000 to speak at its conference in Hong Kong.
Just remember this is the same family that once complained about being broke.
Clinton did disclose the $750,000 speaking fee, but she never reported the $400,000 in air travel. Under federal law, officials must report any gift that they or their spouses receive that is more than $350
