Can you cite a source for this claim. My research comes up empty. Presidential libraries are usually private foundations and usually they only receive gifts/funding from the federal government via acts of congress or after the end of the Presidency.
You're correct actually the libraries are private donations then they later get transitioned to NARA which is federally funded.
I was getting those mixed up with the foundations such as Clinton Foundation, Bush Foundation, Obama Foundation. The Clinton Foundation has the most controversy surrounding it with $2b raised with > $20m coming from foreign governments.
This whole putting a Jet into a Presidential Library is unprecedented and bizarre.
Did the Clinton foundation raise that money during or after the Clinton Presidency?
If after, I don't see why there would be an issue. During is obviously an issue. And I can also see concern (though I don't remember anyone making the argument) that her connections to the foundation could compromise the candidacy of a President Hillary Clinton (having the spouse of a former President run for President was a novel scenario that leads to new questions).
