(CNSNews.com) – Democrat Hillary Clinton spent part of her weekend in California, where George and Amal Clooney hosted two fundraisers for her, including one in San Francisco where some supporters paid as much as $353,000 per couple.
"Do you look at it yourself and think that's an obscene amount of money?" Chuck Todd, host of NBC's "Meet the Press" asked Clooney in an interview taped between the two weekend fundraisers.
