Headlines Politics U.S. World

Hillary Clinton “gifted” a prestigious job at the State Department to the nephew of alleged child-sex-trafficking ring “madame” Ghislaeine Maxwell.

Alexander Djerassi, the son of Maxwell’s sister Isabel, worked on Hillary Clinton’s 2008 Presidential campaign and then moved on to a “very powerful and prestigious position” at the State Department, where he worked under Clinton in charge of the Bureau of Near Eastern Affairs.

He would also return to work on Clinton’s 2016 campaign according to the report.

“Secretary Clinton gave Alex a job in one of the most sensitive areas of Obama’s executive apparatus,” an anonymous source told OK!. “The fact Alex Djerassi, fresh out of college, was put in charge of the State Department’s Bureau of Near Eastern Affairs, covering the Middle East, was an interesting move.”

“He worked directly on the Arab Spring, and Hillary sent Alex as the US representative to the expatriate rebel groups Friends of Libya and Friends of the Syrian People,” the source continued. They also said Djerassi was given “special treatment.”

According to Djerassi’s LinkedIn profile, “He worked on matters relating to democratization and civil society in the Arab world, the Arab uprisings, and Israeli-Palestinian peace. Djerassi has served as a U.S. representative to the Friends of Libya conferences, Friends of the Syrian People conferences, U.S.-GCC Strategic Coordination Forum, and several UN General Assemblies.”

Djerassi also previously worked at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, focusing on Tunisia and US foreign policy towards the Middle East and North Africa.
