An email made public through the organization WikiLeaks suggests that a company controlled in part by the family of Saddam Husseins nuclear weapons mastermind donated to the Clinton Foundations Clinton Global Initiative before a different company controlled by the same family was awarded a 35-year no-bid lease to Port Canaverals cargo container terminal.

Title: WikiLeaks Email Ties Apparent Clinton Pay-To-Play to Port Canaveral Deal with Family of Saddam Husseins Nuclear Mastermind
On October 24, 2016, WikiLeaks released an email, dated August 18, 2012, from the Clinton Foundation to former President Bill Clinton, advising the former President that new sponsor The Abraaj Capital Group agreed to support the 2012 Clinton Global Initiative Annual Meeting with a $550,000 donation.

The same year as the donation revealed in the Wikileaks email, the State Departments Overseas Private Investment Corporation (OPIC) awarded The Abraaj Group with the first of hundreds of millions of dollars in loans and investment management contracts.
Another corporation, Crescent Petroleum, also appears to have financially supported an educational campaign co-chaired by former President Bill Clinton and Dr. Jafars nephew Majid Jafar, CEO of Crescent Petroleum. Gulftainer is a subsidiary of Crescent.
Shortly before the signing ceremony for Gulftainers new Port Canaveral cargo container terminal, Bill Clinton flew to Dubai to attend one of the educational campaigns events with Majid Jafar.
The timeline surrounding the Port Canaveral deal, known as Project Pelican, suggests the Abraaj dealings are not unrelated.

2012: Gulftainer began negotiating Project Pelican with Port Canaveral while Hillary Clinton was Secretary of State. Port Canaveral CEO John E. Walsh, who was new to the ports industry, told Florida Today that the June 23, 2014 deal-signing ceremony was the culmination of a two-year effort to bring Gulftainer to Brevard County, Florida. The timeline Walsh revealed confirms that Project Pelican negotiations were underway while Hillary Clinton was Secretary of State, while the Jafars Abraaj Group was donating money to the Clinton Foundation, and The Abraaj Group received OPIC monies through the State Department.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - The chief executive and a managing partner of the collapsed Dubai private equity firm Abraaj Capital Ltd were arrested on U.S. charges that they defrauded their investors, including the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, a federal prosecutor said on Thursday.
Abraaj founder and Chief Executive Arif Naqvi was arrested in the United Kingdom last Friday, while managing partner Mustafa Abdel-Wadood was arrested at a New York hotel on Thursday, Assistant U.S. Attorney Andrea Griswold said at a hearing in Manhattan federal court.
Abdel-Wadood appeared at the hearing and pleaded not guilty to securities fraud, wire fraud and conspiracy charges. His lawyer, Benjamin Brafman, did not immediately request bail, saying he needed more time to become familiar with the case.
Griswold said prosecutors would seek to have Naqvi, who is charged with the same crimes, extradited. Casey Larsen, a spokesman for Naqvi, could not immediately be reached.
Abraaj had been the largest buyout fund in the Middle East and North Africa until it collapsed last May, after the Gates Foundation and other investors raised concerns about the management of its $1 billion healthcare fund.
