Major Hillary Clinton Donors Caught Up in Fresh Panama Papers Scandal

[J_J_]

The new leaks name Israeli-U.S. media mogul Haim Saban and hedge fund manager Donald Sussman, who have contributed millions to Clinton's campaign.

Two of Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton's biggest backers are featured prominently in the International Consortium of Investigative Journalist's records on offshore bank accounts.

OPINION:
Has the Media Failed the Public on the Panama Papers?

The billionaire Israeli-U.S. family, headed by media mogul Haim Saban, has contributed over US$6,000,000 to Clinton's campaign outright. Haim is known for using his vast wealth resulting from a long and illustrious career in the entertainment industry to fund pro-Israel candidates and organizations.

For example, Gil Saban Limited, a company in the name of Haim's nephew, is one of the first names that shows up. Gil oversees the Israeli version of the popular children's program "Power Rangers," one of the many media properties Haim bought and sold over the years.

The intermediary to which it is linked, Credit Suisse Channel Islands Limited, is connected to 918 other entities in the Panama Papers, none of which have names listed as beneficiaries or board members. Another intermediary, Steval Management SA, is linked to 732 entities.

Women's Self Worth Foundation is seventh on the list. This foundation was founded by Haim's wife, Cheryl. Its contribution is US$2,502,700. That brings the Saban empire's total contribution to Clinton's campaign to over US$6,000,000, which means their total contribution should land the Saban family in third place.

1. Sussman donated money for a building at our little local hospital. Never knew more than

that about him.
