Report: Jeb’s Education Company Paid Hillary $225K for Speech

Jeb Bush’s for-profit education company reportedly paid Hillary Clinton $225,000 for a speech in March of last year.

According to a report in The Intercept, Academic Partnerships, the education group Bush invested in and on whose board he sat until December of last year, paid Clinton the hefty sum to speak at an invitation-only event on March 24, 2014 in Dallas, Texas.

Bush reportedly “joined Academic Partnerships as an investor and as a paid advisor” in 2011 before resigning from the group in December of last year after he announced that he was exploring a presidential bid. Bush, who awarded Clinton the Liberty Medal from the National Constitution Center on the eve of the first anniversary of the Benghazi attacks, reportedly also spoke at the same conference though he did not share stage with Clinton, according to The Intercept.
