You're correct actually the libraries are private donations then they later get transitioned to NARA which is federally funded.

I was getting those mixed up with the foundations such as Clinton Foundation, Bush Foundation, Obama Foundation. The Clinton Foundation has the most controversy surrounding it with $2b raised with > $20m coming from foreign governments.

This whole putting a Jet into a Presidential Library is unprecedented and bizarre.

Did the Clinton foundation raise that money during or after the Clinton Presidency?

If after, I don't see why there would be an issue. During is obviously an issue. And I can also see concern (though I don't remember anyone making the argument) that her connections to the foundation could compromise the candidacy of a President Hillary Clinton (having the spouse of a former President run for President was a novel scenario that leads to new questions).
