The Clinton Foundation didn't "take billions from Haiti"

The facts are clear and well-documented — all money collected by the Clinton Foundation for Haiti was immediately directed to help in the wake of the devastating earthquake in 2010. The Clinton Foundation worked with our partners to deploy resources on the ground, and we did not take a penny for overhead or charge any administrative fee.

The Foundation's work is part of President Clinton's efforts over more than four decades to help the people of Haiti. These efforts have included:

• At the request of the United Nations Secretary-General, serving as the U.N. Special Envoy for Haiti in 2009, after several storms and hurricanes hit Haiti;
• Continuing in this role after the 2010 earthquake that decimated the country;
• At the request of the Haitian government, serving as co-chair of the Interim Haiti Recovery Commission (IHRC);
• Distributing tens of millions of dollars in immediate assistance through the Clinton-Bush Haiti Fund, which was created when President Obama asked President Clinton and President Bush to raise funds for immediate, high-impact relief and long-term recovery efforts to help those who were most in need of assistance;
• Organizing immediate relief to the people of Haiti through the Clinton Foundation, and promoting economic development and support for small businesses and farmers in Haiti through the Clinton Foundation's programs;
• Facilitating Clinton Global Initiative Commitments to Action as part of the Haiti Action Network. Commitments address a variety of challenges in Haiti, including those related to education, healthcare, economic development, and climate-smart agriculture, in addition to other sectors.

In none of these efforts did President Clinton or any of the Clintons receive any money personally.
