According to high-profile Harvard lawyer Alan Dershowitz, Jeffrey Epstein helped conceive the Clinton Global Initiative (CGI), which is managed by the Clintons.
In 2007, Dershowitz wrote in a letter to prosecutors about the convicted sex offender’s role in CGI.
“Mr. Epstein was part of the original group that conceived the Clinton Global Initiative, which is described as a project ‘bringing together a community of global leaders to devise and implement innovative solutions to some of the world’s most pressing challenges,” wrote Dershowitz.
The Clinton Foundation has announced a reboot of “Clinton Global Initiative.” Many people are wondering if this means the two-time failed presidential candidate will make another run for the White House in 2024.
A letter from former President Bill Clinton confirmed that the foundation’s donors are behind the Clinton reboot, according to the Associated Press.
Although the letter claims the foundation will focus on COVID, democracy, and climate change, critics note that these issues have existed for years. “So why the sudden decision to get involved now?” BizPac Review’s Vivek Saxena asks.
A more sinister theory is that Hillary needs to raise enough money for another run at the White House.
In the letter, the Clintons say the reboot is meant to initiate “cooperation and coordination.”
CGI conveniently shut down nearly five years ago after Hillary Clinton’s loss to Donald Trump in the 2016 US election.
“The COVID-19 pandemic has ripped the cover off of longstanding inequities and vulnerabilities across our global community,” the letter reportedly read.
“The existential threat of climate change grows every day. Democracy is under assault around the world, most glaringly in Ukraine where Russia has launched an unjustified and unprovoked invasion that has put millions of lives in grave danger.”
Bill Clinton is the co-chair of the foundation, while daughter Chelsea is its vice chairwoman.
Take a look at the responses on social media:
The last 5 years have ripped the cover off of longstanding global vulnerabilities, but I still believe we can accomplish far more together than we can apart. That’s why I’m looking forward to the next chapter of @ClintonGlobal. My letter here: https://t.co/SQAJFmIF6G https://t.co/S1cHCwUHFS

The Clinton Global Initiative was the primary doorway connecting the Clintons to corporate and foreign donors interested in gaining political access to Washington. https://t.co/wd3dyGCpPS

“WJC (Bill Clinton) …is personally paid by three CGI (Clinton Global Initiative) sponsors, gets many expensive gifts from them, some that are at home” – Doug Band
“We have dedicated ourselves to helping the President secure and engage in for-profit activities” – Doug Band

ZeroHege notes, “The former US president, who stayed at Vladimir Putin’s house just seven short years ago on the same trip where he collected a $500,000 check for a speech at a Russian investment bank, founded CGI with former adviser Doug Band – who left CGI in 2010.”
Bill Clinton just announced the Clinton Global Initiative is coming back online and that is all the confirmation we need that Hillary is running
