John Kerry Aware State Dept. Siphoned Millions to Daughter's Charity

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.
