Clinton Group Got Millions From Overseas~CBS News
~Katrina donors ended up on the list of Clinton supporters when donations poured in before the Bush-Clinton Katrina Fund was fully set up, so the former presidents held the money in two other charities: the Greater Houston Community Foundation and the Clinton Foundation.
That pit stop in the Clinton fund officially turned those Katrina donors into Clinton donors--people who expected their money to go directly to hurricane relief.
And just two weeks ago, thousands of them got letters saying their names were about to be made public.
Among those "surprised" to find themselves on today's list was former Congressman Rob Portman, a Republican on Bush's cabinet at the time.
"These are folks who saw the tragedies of Katrina and wanted to donate," said Dean Zerbe, who was the lead investigator of charities for Congress. "How they've gotten themselves wrapped up into having their names put on a web site is beyond me." (Editillitalics mine)
