WikiLeaks memo exposes 'Bill Clinton Inc.'

Bill Clinton may have leveraged his family's foundation to secure a lucrative partnership with a Dubai-based company, further blurring the lines between the Clintons' personal finances and their philanthropic empire.

The detail emerged in a memo written by longtime Clinton confidante Doug Band in 2011 that was released Wednesday by WikiLeaks. In it, Band described the work of his newly founded consulting firm, Teneo Strategies, as convincing clients to donate to the Clinton Foundation.

Band acknowledged the "unorthodox nature" of his and fellow foundation staffer Justin Cooper's relationships to Clinton over the years, as both aides had served overlapping roles at the foundation and in pursuit of personal profit for the Clinton family.

"Independent of our fundraising and decision-making activities on behalf of the Foundation, we have dedicated ourselves to helping the President secure and engage in for-profit activities – including speeches, books, and advisory service engagements," Band wrote.

He dubbed those for-profit pursuits "Bill Clinton, Inc." The resulting deals often involved a mix of foundation donations, paid speeches and consulting contracts for Bill Clinton, lumping charitable and personal financial work together in ways that may have crossed ethical boundaries.
