Title: Bill Clinton Slams Claim Foundation Paid For Chelsea's Wedding As 'A Personal Insult'

Harriet Sinclair; January 14, 2018

Former president Bill Clinton has hit out at the suggestion his Clinton Foundation footed the bill for daughter Chelsea’s wedding to Marc Mezvinsky.

The former first daughter married investment banker Mezvinsky in 2010, in a ceremony her father has strenuously denied funding through the family’s charitable organization in a tweet on Saturday.

“No Clinton Foundation funds—dedicated to Haiti or otherwise—were used to pay for Chelsea’s wedding. It’s not only untrue, it’s a personal insult to me, to Hillary, and to Chelsea and Marc,” Clinton wrote, sharing a link to an article by The Washington Post that fact-checked the claim and reported there was no evidence to support it.

If you can’t believe a man who was impeached for lying under oath, then who can you believe?

There is a leaked Podesta e-mail, one of the wikileaks e-mails, that claims Clinton's did use money for the wedding.

Crafty guy.  It just paid for the dress.....not the wedding.  Still using the 'is' dodge.

As I recall, the Podesta email references use of Clinton Foundation "resources," so perhaps Bubba is parsing that aspect of it:  not money, just resources; not the wedding, just the dress. Probably used CF money to purchase Chelsea's first $10 million apartment, too, but I digress ...

Even more so before her plastic surgery.

It is impossible for someone this shameless to be insulted over it.

That's his M.O. ..... pretending to be angry and insulted when he's caught red-handed.  I wonder if he was glaring and shaking his finger while he typed that.  "I did NOT ... have sexual relations ... with that woman ... Miss Lewinsky."
