"The president has made a commitment that he will not be raising money for the foundation while he's still in office," Earnest said at a news conference. "What we have said about donors to the (election) campaign also applies to donors at the foundation, and it's simply this: Donating in support of the president's foundation does not guarantee you a meeting with the president of the United States. It also doesn't prevent you from getting a meeting with the president of the United States."
