In 1996, in an attempt to build political support abroad, Ching Hai asked her followers to contribute money to the Clinton Presidential Legal Expense Trust.[13] US$880,000 was raised. However, the donations were returned when the Trust found irregularities involving identical signatures and consecutively numbered money orders. They also found donors listed who did not have the financial means to give that amount of money. The year-long scandal had a negative effect on her organisation, further damaged perception of the Clinton administration,[8] and rather than the intended "boomerang of international support" for her efforts, resulted in an extensive investigation and a congressional subpoena.[8] The Taiwan government also investigated her organization for "alleged fund-raising improprieties", which included a transfer of $2 million outside of the country https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ching_Hai
