WASHINGTON — President Clinton and his wife started shipping White House furniture to the Clintons' newly purchased home in New York more than a year ago, despite questions at the time by the White House chief usher about whether they were entitled to remove the items.
At least one of these items, a Ficks-Reed wicker table, was logged in at the White House on Feb. 8, 1993. The widow of the manufacturer, Joy Ficks, said last week that it was meant for the White House, not the Clintons.
This week, the Clintons returned the four items to the White House, along with other furnishings, after questions were raised about whether they actually belonged to the Clintons. All the furnishings had been designated official White House property by the Park Service in 1993.
This week, they agreed to return $28,500 in furnishings identified by the Washington Post this week as having been legally designated as White House property by the National Park Service.

Either she’d put on a few, or the White house was also missing a mattress...
Amd staff defaced computer keyboards.
So they logged the gifts into the White House and later had them transferred to their home.
No. Hillary did both.
Hillary stole from the WH and then solicited for donations to furnish her new DC home because she was so poor.
Our former governor is going to prison for doing this(accepting gifts).
The Clintons are white trash.
Sleeze.
Stealing is as natural as belching to these bums, crime being a way of life for them. I seem to remember some of their crew stealing bathrobes and other goodies from an aircraft carrier while slick willie was rearranging rocks on Omaha Beach during the 50th anniversary of D-Day.
My upbringing would never allow me to do this - sure would be nice to know why she/they weren’t ashamed of this behavior. A whole viper’s nest of crooks - and then Chelsea goes and marries the son of a crook.
Hillary was right in there raking in the booty.
