Wikileaks: Clinton Foundation Worried Nigeria Aid Could Slow Haiti Fundraising

In a 2012 email chain published online by the organization Wikileaks, senior members of the Clinton Foundation rejected the idea of allowing Bill Clinton to become a member of group promoting agricultural development in Nigeria, with one director arguing that any aid to Nigeria would detract from fundraising for Haiti.

In Nigeria, the Clintons have an equally negative record, though not through the Foundation. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who served concurrently with Goodluck Jonathan, refused to designate Boko Haram a terrorist group, which would have put greater law enforcement and military scrutiny on the group. Boko Haram is now not only an official wing of the Islamic State but, independent of the greater group, the deadliest terrorist organization in the world.

“At the time, the sentiment that was expressed by the administration was this was a local grievance and therefore not a threat to the United States or its interests,” Patrick Meehan, chairman of the Subcommittee on Counterterrorism and Intelligence, told The Daily Beast. “The FBI, the CIA, and the Justice Department really wanted Boko Haram designated, they wanted the authorities that would provide to go after them, and they voiced that repeatedly to elected officials.”

Clinton’s successor, John Kerry, eventually designated Boko Haram a terrorist group.
