🚨 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.
“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.”
Our September report focused on Hohn’s aggressive funneling of $553 million into U.S. organizations to influence U.S. policy, including $11M+ to Arabella-run groups and $70M+ to Energy Foundation China.
🧵 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.
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:

🔹 She holds a post in China’s Belt and Road coalition — a global influence program.
