The Daily Caller News Foundation has obtained documents that show the State Department funneled over $9 million to a nonprofit foundation run by Secretary of State John Kerry’s daughter.

From the report:

The Department of State funded a Peace Corps program created by Dr. Vanessa Kerry and officials from both agencies, records show. The Peace Corps then awarded the money without competition to a nonprofit Kerry created for the program.

The Peace Corps program is called the Global Health Service Partnership, and its purpose is to send volunteer doctors and nurses to help at medical schools in Malawi, Tanzania, Uganda, and Liberia. Ms. Kerry’s group, Seed Global Health, was awarded the money “without competition,” the report notes. 

A three-year, $2-million contract was first offered to Seed Global Health in 2012, back when her father was chairman of the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations and conveniently oversaw the DoS and the Peace Corps. Then in 2015, Seed was able to easily obtain $6.4 million more from the State Department under Secretary Kerry.

Another $1 million was added as “a modification to the first award, as well,” reports the DC.

Part of the documents is a memo from 2011 alleging collusion between Peace Corps directors and an ambassador from a DoS office to ensure Kerry’s daughter received the tax dollars “fast tracked and non-competed through a specific grant mechanism.” The State Department was able to “bury” the financial transfer in its report to Congress because the Peace Corps program was considered “a smaller line item in a multi-page document with multi-million dollar programs,” the memo states.

As with any “good” government program, the budget was underestimated and in this case, by nearly $900,000 in travel and salary costs. Ms. Kerry received her first salary in 2014 and was the only person listed on the tax form to receive income. Her hours were listed at 30 hours per week with an annual income of $140,000. 

And of course, all parties involved deny any conflicts of interest. You can read more about the findings here.
