The Hill reported that Alexander Downer ‐ who at the time served as Australia’s foreign minister ‐ helped launch a $25 million partnership between Australia and The Clinton Foundation to help fight AIDS back in 2006.
Not only was the initiative one of the single, largest charitable endeavors undertaken in The Clinton Foundation’s 21 year history ‐ Australia was one of only four countries to pledge $25 million to The Clinton Foundation ‐ but Ohio Republican Rep. Jim Jordan now says that the FBI failed to alert Congress of Downer’s connection to the Clintons.
Congressman Jim Jordan says this new revelation shoots down claims made by House Intelligence ranking member Adam Schiff. He added the news further necessitates Attorney General Jeff Sessions to appoint a second special counsel to probe the FBI and Justice Department’s handling of the initial counterintelligence investigation into the Trump campaign.
