Peter Schweizer: America's Top Politicians Have Discovered The Scam to End All Scams - New Book Secret Empires: How Our Politicians Hide Corruption and Enrich Their Families and Friends Reveals The Newest Form of Corruption in Washington, Involving Larger Sums of Money than Ever Before A Deep Look at Corruption by Proxy: Invisible Foreign Money Deals Channeled Through Family Members, Hidden from Public View The author who wrote Clinton Cash and sparked an FBI investigation into the Clinton Foundation is now set to launch his highly anticipated investigative follow-up. On March 20, Harper will publish Peter Schweizer's Secret Empires: How Our Politicians Hide Corruption and Enrich Their Families and Friends. Secret Empires will expose vast corruption by top Washington figures who leverage their political power to enrich their family members and friends, often by helping grease deals with foreign entities. In Secret Empires, Schweizer reveals: . Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and Secretary of Transportation Elaine Chao's deep relationship with China. How, as McConnell's hardline position softened, money flowed, not only doubling their net worth, but placing a family member on the board of the government-run, powerful Bank of China ten days after Trump's election-and two more family members on the board of one of the Chinese government's largest military contractors. . The Smash and Grab: How President Barack Obama enriched his friends by smashing certain sectors with outrageous regulations, dramatically driving down their valuations (sometimes to pennies on the dollar). Who would come in and buy up these companies on the cheap? Some of President Obama's oldest and dearest friends. You won't believe what happens next. . Presidential children weren't always under intense scrutiny. For the first time, Schweizer shines a light on how the son and stepson of Joe Biden and John Kerry scored billion dollar deals with foreign governments as their dads shaped foreign policy. Ten days after Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden flew aboard AIR FORCE TWO to China, Hunter and John Kerry's stepson, Chris Heinz, closed a one billion dollar deal with a subsidiary of the Bank of China. Unbelievably, more mega deals will follow. . The Trump children are without a doubt, according to Schweizer, targets of foreign governments. Schweizer previews how foreign entities can make inroads with Jared, Ivanka, Donald Jr., Eric and the Trump Organization to attempt to curry favor with the current administration, preying on their well-documented financial vulnerabilities.
