Clinton Benefactor Sued By Shareholders
For the past four years, the Clintons have jetted around on Vinod Gupta’s corporate plane, to Switzerland, Hawaii, Jamaica, Mexico—$900,000 worth of travel. The former president secured a $3.3 million consulting deal with Gupta’s technology firm. His presidential library got a six-figure gift, too.
Gupta, whose big donations to the Democratic Party earned him a Lincoln Bedroom overnight when Bill Clinton was president, has emerged as a key benefactor of Clinton’s post-presidency—and Hillary Rodham Clinton’s presidential candidacy.
Gupta’s generosity toward the Clintons has proved so controversial within his firm—a major provider of database-processing services—that it prompted a shareholder lawsuit complaining that hiring the former president was a “waste of corporate assets.”
