(Ken Silva, Headline USA) Convicted sex offenders Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell helped fund the Clinton Global Initiative, seemingly contributing at least $1 million to the organization, according to the newly released “Epstein files”—the trove of documents released by the Justice Department.

Indeed, an Oct. 7, 2004, email from former Clinton Foundation official Mary Morrison to Maxwell asks for a $1 million wire transfer.
“I told them to be expecting $l million USA dollars… and that it would be coming in the next few days,” Morrison, who was an executive assistant to former President Bill Clinton, said at the time.
About a week later, Epstein responded to the email with a message, likely to Maxwell: “Ask him to tell you why i million now and where will it be going.”
It’s not clear what happened after that. However, the emails are the latest indication that Maxwell and Epstein indeed had a major role in the Clinton Foundation—the conduit allegedly used by Hillary Clinton to trade political favors for monetary donations.
Maxwell revealed Epstein’s ties to the Clinton Foundation in her interview with the DOJ last July, when asked whether he had business ties with Bill Clinton.
“I was part of the beginning process of the Clinton Global Initiative. And that was something that I helped with and that was me, and Epstein may have helped me help them. And in that context, he may well have involved himself, but only in the context of something that I was trying to do,” she told prosecutors, according to the interview transcripts.
Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche then asked whether Epstein donated to the foundation, and Maxwell said she believes he had.
We now have both Ghislaine Maxwell AND Jeffrey Epstein’s lawyers directly telling the Justice Department they helped set up the Clinton Global Initiative. https://t.co/20BWhdNULk pic.twitter.com/yfpYhBXvyH
