HILLARY CLINTON ROOM
ALEXANDREA BOGUHN
The Associated Press suggested it was unethical for then-first lady Hillary Clinton to push for tax breaks for those who donated to nonprofit organizations while the William J. Clinton Foundation was soliciting donations for the Clinton administration's presidential library -- but its own article later undermined those claims, outlining how the proposed measure had been building momentum since 1997, three years prior to the alleged conflict of interest. In fact, as the AP admitted, the proposal in question would provide no "direct" benefit to the foundation.

"The Clinton White House pushed the tax plan in its final budget in February 2000, but it did not survive the Republican-led Congress."
