Benefactor Vinod Gupta sued over Clinton trips

Washington: A longtime Indian-born Clinton benefactor used corporate jets to fly the former president and Hillary Rodham Clinton on business, personal and campaign trips that a lawsuit brands as wasteful company spending.

The supporter, Vinod Gupta, also secured contracts worth more than $3 million (Dh11 million) for Bill Clinton to provide consulting services to Gupta’s company, infoUSA, from 2003 through 2008, according to the suit.

Since 2002, Gupta spent $900,000 (Dh3.3 million) flying the former president to international locations on presidential foundation business and flying Hillary Clinton, a Democratic senator from New York, to political events.

Gupta has said in interviews that he is from the village of Rampur, in the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh. He attended the Indian Institute of Technology, and moved to the United States in the late 1960s.
