Speculation is rife that Hillary Clinton will try to come back in 2024.

Clinton Foundation has launched a new program entitled “Clinton Global Initiative (CGI).” Many people are wondering if the Clinton Foundation’s new initiative means the two-time unsuccessful presidential candidate will run for office again in 2024.

An Associated Press report stated that former President Bill Clinton sent a letter to certify that the foundation’s donors are behind the Clinton revival.

In spite of the letter claiming the foundation will focus on COVID, democracy, and climate change, critics point out that these issues have been around for years. “So why the sudden decision to get involved now?” a reporter for BizPac Review asked.

Alternatively, Hillary might need to raise money for a second run at the White House. In 2016, after Hillary Clinton ended up losing the presidential election to Donald Trump, CGI abruptly shut down.

The Clintons explain in the letter that the reboot will lead to “cooperation and coordination.”

“The COVID-19 pandemic has ripped the cover off of longstanding inequities and vulnerabilities across our global community,” the letter said, according to reports.

“The existential threat of climate change grows every day. Democracy is under assault around the world, most glaringly in Ukraine where Russia has launched an unjustified and unprovoked invasion that has put millions of lives in grave danger. The number of displaced people and refugees worldwide is higher than it has ever been—more than one in 95 of all people alive on the planet today has been forced to flee their home—and rising.”

Referred to as the Clinton Global Initiative, this subset of the Clinton Foundation “convenes global and emerging leaders to create and implement solutions to the world’s most pressing challenges,” the organization’s website states.

“Rather than directly implementing projects, CGI facilitates action by helping members connect, collaborate, and develop Commitments to Action — new, specific, and measurable plans that address global challenges,” it continues.

During Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign in 2016, the Clinton Global Initiative ended due to concern it could create a conflict of interest. The summit will take place September 19-21 in New York City.

“Just like the world we’re living in, the September meeting will likely look different than the ones we held before. But what will not be different is the spirit that has driven CGI from the very beginning—the idea that we can accomplish more together than we can apart,” the former president wrote in the declaration.

Former Presidents Barack Obama and Jimmy Carter, as well as A-list celebrities like Ben Affleck and Bono have spoken at past events. Additionally, major corporations, including Coca-Cola, Barclays, Goldman Sachs, Blackstone Group, Laureate Education, Monsanto, and Standard Chartered Bank, have sponsored the initiative. In 2016, the Washington Examiner described how CGI has been called out due to “its atypical method of operation.”

“Instead of issuing traditional grants to groups in need, the Clinton Global Initiative’s primary function is to convene powerful figures from the business, political or entertainment worlds and encourage them to pledge contributions for future projects called ‘commitments,’” the Examiner report stated.

“However, the group’s most recent philanthropic portfolio indicates fewer than half of the thousands of commitments made since 2005 have ever been completed,” it continued. “The charity’s financial structure has also raised eyebrows, since most direct contributions go toward the annual meeting or salaries rather than philanthropy.”

According to BizPac, the “second most common theory” is that the Clintons need more cash for themselves.

“And indeed, the record shows that their top donors prior to falling off the map had come from Ukraine,” the report adds.

Steve Bachar, a long-time co-chair of CGI, was arrested last year on charges of felony theft and securities fraud.

A criminal complaint indicated that he stole up to $1 million from an investor then lied about it “in connection with the offer, sale or purchase of a security.” The allegedly criminal acts occurred between October 2017 and August 2018.

A series of accusations have been leveled at the Clinton Foundation.

“Clinton Foundation officials repeatedly skirted or ignored federal laws and regulations while converting the controversial non-profit from its tax-exempt purpose of building a presidential library in Little Rock, Arkansas, into a $2 billion global machine selling political influence and access on an unprecedented scale,” BizPac reported in 2016.

“It was during the foundation’s first six full years of existence from 1998 to 2004 when the tight-knit circle of Clinton insiders progressively mis-represented in annual tax filings the non-profit’s activities and compliance with its exempt purpose.”

Of course, Hillary can’t expect an easy ride in her third attempt at the White House. In the event that Republicans win control over Democrats in the midterms, Republican-controlled committees are expected to start investigating Durham’s allegations over Clinton’s spying on Trump and later the Republican presidential nominee.

Rep. Mike Rogers (R-Ohio) announced the pledge last month in a Fox News interview in response to Durham’s report that Clinton campaign lawyer Michael Sussmann employed a tech firm to snoop on Trump’s campaign and White House.
