John Kerry's Heinz ketchup heiress wife has millions of dollars in Chinese investments
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • John Kerry's wife benefits from an investment of 'at least $1 million' in a hedge fund that specializes in investments with Chinese government-controlled funds

  • His wife Teresa Heinz is the widow of wealthy late senator John Heinz and heiress to the Heinz family fortune, estimated to be worth more than $750million

  • The investment was revealed in Kerry's filing with the Office of Government Ethics (OGE) in March

  • Kerry's filing says neither he nor his wife 'exercise authority over the trust

  • In his senior government role as Biden's climate change envoy, Kerry regularly meets with Chinese diplomats and leaders

  • He is in the delicate position of negotiating with the industrial superpower to cut deals on reducing carbon emissions

  • Kerry's 2021 filing says neither he nor his wife 'exercise authority over the trust', 'have any control over the management of the trust investments', and neither are trustees"

  • George W. Bush's former chief White House ethics lawyer Richard Painter told DailyMail.com the investments could pose an ethical problem for Kerry

  • He said if the Chinese government tried to exert influence through his family's investments, Kerry would have to stand down from climate change negotiations

2 This is the same gold-digging asshole who traded ahead of the market in Sept-2009 after hearing Hank Paulson's private testimony to Congress about the impending financial meltdown.

A poster child for corruption in one of the most corrupt periods in modern American history.

3 How can a "man" with no ethics have an ethical dilemma? He knows his job -- cripple the US, empower China, enrich himself.
