Clintons Made $109 Million, Tax Return Shows

Washington, D.C. (AHN) - Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-NY), after months of waffling, released her income taxes on Friday. The returns revealed that she and her husband earned a combined income of $109 million from 2000 to 2007.

The Clintons paid nearly $34 million in taxes, or 31 percent of their total income, during the same period, according to a statement from spokesman Jay Carson posted on the former first lady's website.

Clinton earned $1 million since joining the Senate in 2000, and $10 million from sales of her book, "Living History." Her husband, former president Bill Clinton, meanwhile, earned $1 million in pensions and $52 million from speaking engagements since leaving the White House. He also got $29.5 from sales of his own book.

"The Clintons have now made public 30 years of tax returns, a record matched by few people in public service," Carson said. "None of Hillary Clinton's presidential opponents have revealed anything close to this amount of personal financial information."

The statement added that "None of Hillary Clinton's presidential opponents have revealed anything close to this amount of personal financial information."

Clinton has repeatedly been attacked by rival Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) for not disclosing her income taxes. During a debate with Obama in February Clinton pledged she would release her tax returns soon.
