In reply to the discussion: How Much Does Chelsea Clinton Get Paid In Speaking Fees? It's Less Than Her Parents But Still More [View all]pnwmom
(110,255 posts)70. She has always said she won't release her transcripts till ALL the candidates,
including the Rethugs, do so. Trump hasn't.
Bernie, on the other hand, firmly promised months ago to release multiple years of tax returns during the primaries. And he failed to keep his promise.
Hillary has had 30 years of personal tax returns made public, and the Foundation's tax returns have also been public since its inception.

Chelsea was a big factor in the realignment of The Clinton Foundation after Eric Braverman "quit".

No she isn't a public figure. And her slary has nothing to do with HRC being POTUS.
