WASHINGTON — New public records show former President Bill Clinton made unusual and outrageous demands when he became a six-figure speaker after leaving the White House — a tradition he passed along to wife Hillary.
While speaking in California in 2002, the former president demanded to be flown by private jet from San Francisco to his speaking venue just 70 miles away at the University of California Davis Mondavi Center, according to documents obtained by the Los Angeles Times.
Bubba also charged a $1,400 hotel phone bill and $700 dinner for two to event organizers.
His handler at the Harry Walker Agency described them as “reasonable expenses.”
Clinton in 2002 declined the going rate of $60,000 a speech for former world leaders, including Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher, and insisted he was worth double.
He eventually agreed to $100,000 per speech for six events in November 2002 with the Foothill Deanza Community College District, the Times reported.
