The Haitian President recalled
an attempt by Bill Clinton’s White House to bribe him into supporting regime
change in Haiti, says Clinton Foundation stole "billions" from the
country.
On Friday, former Senate President
of Haiti, Bernard Sansaricq explained to a crowd of Donald Trump
supporters that Bill Clinton had tried to bribe him in order
to get the politician to side with the White House regarding the
1994 military invasion of the island country.
Sansaricq detailed that he spoke with Clinton confidante
and former New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson who the White House had sent
in hopes of "appeasing" the Haitian politician to side
against the nation’s military regime. The former Haitian legislator begged
Richardson to "take the message back to President Clinton"
to not invade the Haiti for fear it would destabilize the country.
A week later the American embassy reportedly sent an anonymous message
back to Sansaricq, according to his testimonial at the Trump
supporter event, saying that if the politician sided with the White House
plans to invade then he would become "the richest man
in Haiti."
Sansaricq, who later immigrated to the United States and is
now an American citizen, said that he declined Clinton’s offer because he
"loved his country." The former Haitian lawmaker went on to an
unsuccessful run for US Congress in Florida in 2012 on the
Republican ticket.
Not only did the former Senate President of Haiti suggest
that Bill Clinton attempted to bribe him in 2012, but he also
said that the Clinton Foundation withheld “billions of dollars”
in donations from Haiti.
It is impossible to determine whether these allegations are
true because the Clinton Foundation has never undergone an independent audit
of their finances such that it could be determined that all of the
proceeds reported as donated and transferred to various charities
represents a full accounting of receipts.
The Clinton Foundation has frequently faced allegations
of malfeasance for their work in 2010, during which time
Hillary Clinton served as the Secretary of State,
after reportedly raising $30 million for Haiti relief projects that
many locals say never fully materialized while others point to luxury
hotels that were allegedly constructed with relief funds in order
to benefit the country’s ruling establishment.
The Daily Caller reports that the Clinton Foundation and Bill
Clinton have not responded to the serious allegations levied by the
Haitian politician.
