‘Troubled’: Chelsea Clinton breaks silence on claims she received $84 million from USAID
Chelsea Clinton is firing back against what she calls “lies” and “absurd claims” that she was gifted $84 million from USAID, the United States Agency for International Development.
“Lies and conspiracies about my family and me are nothing new. Still, I am particularly troubled by the absurd claims that continue to pervade social media this week, fact checks be damned,” the daughter of former President Bill Clinton and twice-failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, wrote Monday on X.
“Facts: I’m proud of the Clinton Foundation work that has helped tens of millions of people worldwide. Our impact speaks for itself. I don’t take a cent from the Foundation. Never have. In fact, my family personally contributes meaningfully to our work each year.
“Misinformation isn’t just noise – it’s a weapon. Efforts to undermine good work won’t stop us, and we stand in solidarity with those who are committed to truth, public health, progress, and the endless potential of our future.”
WND reported last week how Elon Musk, the head of DOGE, the Department of Governmental Efficiency, posted and then deleted a “Wow” reaction to claims Chelsea allegedly received some $84 million in U.S. taxpayer funding.
“USAID gave Chelsea Clinton tens of millions of dollars and partnered with their sex trafficking organization The Clinton Foundation,” wrote author and journalist Liz Crokin on X.
“In 2010, then Secretary of State Hillary Clinton helped oversee $4.4 billion that Congress had earmarked for ‘recovery’ efforts in Haiti by the USAID in 2010.”
Crokin continued: “The level of corruption and criminality – including crimes that are deemed capital offenses with death penalty as a potential punishment – are astounding and unprecedented.
“We must demand accountability and justice for these crimes.”

The left-leaning so-called fact-checker Snopes.com indicated the claim Chelsea herself had received the money directly was false.
“A graph that social media users claimed showed Chelsea Clinton received $84 million from USAID is actually a reference to the Clinton Foundation,” it wrote.
“Further, government data from fiscal years 2008-24 showed that USAID had not given more than $7.5 million to that foundation. Finally, tax returns show Chelsea Clinton does not receive any compensation for her work at the foundation.”
However, Britain’s Daily Mail reports: “But even though Snopes clarified that Chelsea hadn’t received direct compensation, the Clinton Foundation has received financial awards from the U.S. government, such as in 2010 when the were granted $49,998 for AmeriCorps National.
“And AmeriCorps has roots in the Clinton Foundation, as former-President Bill Clinton signed the National and Community Trust Act of 1993 that brought the federal organization to life.
“USAID also gave money to the Clinton Health Access Initiative, a self-run off-shoot of the Clinton Foundation, totaling $7.49million – spending the majority of it between 2019 to 2021.”
Chelsea Clinton’s post on Monday is getting fierce reaction.
Phil Suarez, a U.S. Army combat veteran and Republican congressional candidate in Texas, says:
“Chelsea, the problem isn’t just ‘misinformation’ or ‘conspiracies’ – it’s the undeniable history of corruption, pay-to-play politics, and shady dealings tied to the Clinton Foundation. If the Foundation’s work is as selfless as you claim, why did donations mysteriously dry up when your mother lost in 2016? Why did foreign governments and corporations pour millions into it while she was Secretary of State? Why did internal audits and whistleblower reports raise serious concerns about financial mismanagement?
“Americans have every right to question an organization with a history of blurred ethical lines and special treatment for donors. Instead of dismissing criticism as ‘lies’ and ‘absurd claims,’ perhaps some real accountability is in order. Your family’s legacy isn’t one of transparency or public service – it’s one of influence-peddling and backroom deals.
“And let’s not pretend you’re just an innocent bystander. You’ve personally benefited from the Clinton name, and your attempts to silence critics with moral posturing won’t change the facts. If the Foundation’s ‘impact speaks for itself,’ let the numbers, audits, and records do the talking – not another Clinton lecture about ‘truth’ while sweeping real concerns under the rug.”
Other commenters directly responding to Chelsea Clinton indicated:
“Oh, look. It’s a Clinton lying again.”
“You owe me money. Btw there is no amount of money that could make you someone to look at. UGLY is in your genes.”
“You are going to jail even if your evil criminal parents escape justice.”
“You’re such a lying b*tch. You, your mother and father are criminals and degenerates. You all belong in prison. Go f*** yourself.”
“Your parents need to face justice … and if you’re mixed up in any of it? Then you have to face the music too. No one’s above the law, them’s the rules.”
“Of course you’re proud, you made millions.”
“Ok Chelsea. And your father did not have sexual relations with that woman, right? ”
“You stole money from the Haiti relief fund. The Clinton Foundation stole more money than they helped. You and your family are criminals.”
“This post is what panic looks like.”
“You stole money from the Haiti relief fund. The Clinton Foundation stole more money than they helped. You and your family are criminals.”
“Your dad went to Epstein Island 26 times.”
“You are a criminal like your mother! At least you didn’t rape young women at Epstein’s Island like your which your mother knew about and did nothing about it! It Was all about the $$$$$!”
“You know not a single person believes a word you say, right?”
Ms. Clinton, am I correct in reading that out of your reported $57,597,174 in expenses, $8,176,112 went to conferences and meetings, plus an additional $1,996,121 on travel? pic.twitter.com/COu2a99SWM

Ma’am, it’s public record.
No amount of your virtual signaling will work. You took money. Gislaine Maxwell was at your wedding. Your parents are knee-deep in a huge amount of corruption. And you want us to believe you did everything for free.
Sure, and I have a bridge to sell. pic.twitter.com/LpMDgO54VK— Olivia1999 (@Mimi202215) February 10, 2025
