Though former president Bill Clinton accompanied Canadian mining financier Frank Giustra to Kazakhstan on Giustra’s private jet, accompanied him to a meeting with that nation’s repressive president, received a $31 million donation from Giustra for his charitable foundation and a pledge for $100 million to William J. Clinton Foundation, Clinton claims he did nothing to help Giustra ink a mining deal with the Kazakhstan president that is worth tens of millions of dollars. Clinton’s spokesperson said there was “no discussion” of the deal when the two met with the Kazakhstan president. (New York Times)
