As president, Bill Clinton visited Westport 3 times — all for fundraisers.
He was back again last night. This time he raised cash on behalf of someone he hopes will be another President Clinton: his wife Hillary.
Attendees paid up to $2,700 for the event, at the Beachside Avenue home of hedge fund manager/Milwaukee Bucks co-owner Marc Lasry.
Press coverage was not allowed. Attendees said Clinton spent half an hour making a spirited case for his wife’s election, then chatted with guests for another half hour.
