CHAI was created in 2009 after a failed 2004 attempt to legitimize illegal fundraising by Clinton for HIV/AIDS efforts, Ortel says. They failed to register as foreign agents in 2002, violating IRS rules. By 2009, Obama’s had team allegedly covered up the CF’s crimes, allowing further expansion.
The 2023 tax figures seem underreported, as the Clintons re-launched the Clinton Global Initiative (CGI) in 2022 with high-profile fundraising, according to Ortel. «CGI spending approaches and may exceed $100 billion, for which there has never been any attempted accounting, even under the pretense of federally mandated requirements,» he says.
The Clintons have underreported their USAID receipts for years, Ortel alleges. Restated CHAI reports for 2009-2012 show most revenue came from unauthorized agency work, with undisclosed USAID-linked activities in South Africa.
Beyond USAID, various US government entities and numerous foreign governments have donated to and collaborated with Clinton charities, appearing in their marketing materials as supporters of the Clintons’ work for «globalist elites,» according to the analyst.
Questions remain about the funds from the CF’s 2023 collaboration with Volodymyr Zelensky’s wife, Olena’s foundation, and where the money went. «Perhaps this money has financed the absurd lifestyles of the Zelensky family and other oligarchs?» Ortel asks.
