British billionaire cuts off funding to left-wing groups after watchdog exposes $553M operation

Christopher Hohn, a British billionaire and hedge fund manager, is cutting off funding to left-wing groups and causes after a report by Americans for Public Trust (APT).

APT said in its report that the groups that received funding from the Children's Investment Fund Foundation (CIFF), which lists Hohn as its founder and chair of board, "pushed for nothing less than the complete radicalization of the U.S. political landscape."

CIFF, which has a reported $6 billion endowment, is "heavily funded by Hohn’s nearly $60 billion activist hedge fund," according to APT.

"For far too long, Christopher Hohn, and other foreign billionaires like Hansjörg Wyss, have been able to exploit loopholes that allow foreign money to fund policy fights that shape American politics to fit their radical agendas. Hohn is only stopping his giving now that we caught him," APT Executive Director Caitlin Sutherland told Fox Business.

"The fact that hundreds of millions of foreign dollars were able to quietly flow into our political system unchecked illustrates the urgent need for Congress to take action to end the political foreign funding of U.S. nonprofits," she said.

In response to FOX Business' request for comment, CIFF referred to its statement regarding the changes in funding.

CIFF announced on Wednesday that it would be redirecting funding to non-U.S. NGOs.

"Unfortunately, we are no longer confident in our understanding of the US policy environment for foreign funders of US NGOs, including for international work, which is our focus," CIFF wrote. "Consequently, CIFF’s Board have decided that, as a precautionary measure, and until applicable laws and rules, and the execution of them, are made clearer by relevant authorities, CIFF should redirect its funding to, and restructure its contracts to be with, non-US NGOs."

One of Antifa’s biggest funding sources.

Funny, how an organization that doesn’t exist keeps getting funding from people linked to China……….

That’s great but it also raises the question: Is that a game ending blow or can he use another way to fund Antifa and keep right on going?

So they are going to fund Leftist destruction abroad instead of domestically rather than changing their ways entirely.

So funding a designated terrorist organization could create some issues for this man and his companies.
I say a fine of 30 billion should about be right.

Hohn funds Extinction Rebellion and launders money to other groups, sometimes using USAID conduits. His Children’s Investment Fund Foundation (CIFF) has links to Chinese Communist officials.
