🚨 Following our report exposing how British billionaire Christopher Hohn is pumping hundreds of millions of foreign money into US politics and policy, Hohn's group, The Children’s Investment Fund Foundation, has PAUSED ALL FUNDING to American groups. Image
“The Children’s Investment Fund Foundation (CIFF), which has $6.1bn in assets and is powered by the wealth Hohn amassed as one of the world’s most successful investors, said it no longer understands the ‘US policy environment’ governing donations.”

🧵 NEW: A British billionaire is secretly bankrolling U.S. policy and advocacy campaigns.

Christopher Hohn, a foreign national barred from influencing American elections, has funneled at least $553M into U.S. groups to push a far-left agenda.

What to know ⬇️

Hohn’s nonprofit — the Children’s Investment Fund Foundation (CIFF) — is pouring foreign money into America.

Recipients include:
🔹 Arabella Advisors’ dark money network
🔹 Climate litigation & protests
🔹 A China-linked group pushing a gas stove ban
CIFF doesn’t just fund U.S. activism. It has deep ties to China and the CCP:

🔹 CIFF’s CEO is a member of a CCP-run org.
🔹 She received a “Friendship Award” from a top CCP official.
🔹 She holds a post in China’s Belt and Road coalition — a global influence program.

🧵American elections should be for Americans — not for foreign billionaires influencing our politics.

That’s why we’ve released our new report detailing how foreign nationals use dark money to influence our elections and what can be done to STOP them.americansforpublictrust.org/document/sixte…
Swiss billionaire Hansjorg Wyss' influence on our elections begins with the $243 million he has funneled to the dark money group Sixteen Thirty Fund.

1630 then turned around and invested nearly $100 million to fund ballot issue campaigns across 25 states over the last decade. Image
This spending is often concentrated in presidential battleground states such as Arizona, Michigan, and Ohio or states with competitive U.S. Senate races like Colorado, Missouri, and Nevada. Image

REMINDER: A secretive liberal dark money network, led by @ArabellaAdvisor, is the main force driving Biden's Supreme Court pick.

Despite @SenWhitehouse's assurances that dark money played no role in the process, all the major liberal dark money players have been involved...
