Audit: Bill Clinton overvalued his old underpants to inflate tax write-off

Published



A new review of Clinton tax returns by a taxpayer watchdog group has revealed that Bill Clinton overpriced the value of his old, used underpants and several other clothing items donated to charity that boosted his tax write-off.


As governor of Arkansas in 1986, Clinton hand wrote a $6 charity deduction for “3 pr. underwear” that even today are only valued at $1 each, according to the analysis from Americans for Tax Reform. He also claimed $75 for “Garbardine suit – ripped pants” valued by Salvation Army this year at $10-$60.
