More than $9 million of the State Department's money has been
funneled to a nonprofit foundation started and run by Secretary of State
John Kerry's daughter, Dr. Vanessa Kerry, with his acknowledgement, The Daily Caller revealed.
The report also stated that Kerry "knew" about the program as he
announced an extension from the Department of State's funding in 2014.
"What we're talking about here is a multi-million dollar effort that
will strengthen the capacity of healthcare workers to deliver lifesaving
HIV services. [I]t will build on the Global Health Service Partnership
with Peace Corps and Seed Global Health," Kerry said at a World AIDS Day
event in December 2014, reports the Daily Caller.
The comments made in 2014 appear to contradict recent claims of the Department of State who believe Kerry "played no role" in influencing the official decision. The funds were granted under the Global Health Service Partnership (GHSP).
The GHSP program was started in 2012 while Kerry was a Democratic
senator from Massachusetts and chairman of the Senate Committee on
Foreign Relations. That panel oversees both the Department of State and
the Peace Corps, which played a role in awarding funds.
