Bill Clinton will keep giving speeches to 'pay our bills'


Monrovia (AFP) - Former US president Bill Clinton said in an interview that aired Monday he will keep giving lucrative speeches "to pay our bills" while wife Hillary Clinton runs for the White House.

Defending his charity work on a trip to Africa, Clinton said Hillary told him no foreign official has sought to influence her through donations to the family's foundation, which has come under fire for accepting millions of dollars from foreign governments.

Bill Clinton told NBC News he would step down from running the foundation "if it's the right thing to do".

But he insisted he would maintain a schedule of speaking events -- several of which reportedly paid him $500,000 a pop in recent years -- despite amassing a fortune in the 14 years since leaving the White House.

"Oh, yeah. I've got to pay our bills," Clinton said when asked if he would carry on with paid speaking engagements.

Clinton said he gives 10 percent of his revenue each year to the Clinton Foundation, and that Hillary "gave 17 percent" in the years she was with it.
