– JFK’s nephew received ‘$1.4bn taxpayer bailout for his struggling green energy firm’ (Daily Mail, Nov. 18, 2011):
- Firm had $1.8bn debt and needed cash to survive
- Former employee who landed job in White House after funding Obama campaign ‘made the payment’
The nephew of former president John F. Kennedy has been given a secret £1.4bn bailout for his company thanks to his White House connections, a new book has claimed.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr is said to have received the vast sum of tax-payers’ cash for his ‘green energy’ firm BrightSource while it was $1.8bn in debt in 2010.
The payment was made by Sanjay Wagle, a former BrightSource employee who after raising money for Barack Obama was rewarded with a job in the U.S. Department of Energy, it is claimed.
The revelation was made in an explosive new book, Throw Them All Out, which exposes the secret financial deals of an inner circle of businessmen and politicians in the White House.
The author Peter Schweizer says that the payment was made to Kennedy Jr. thanks to connections in Washington.
