The Clintons will formally relaunch their ‘Clinton Global Initiative’ foundation after a five year-hiatus.
The organization shut-down in 2017 after critics claimed the Clintons engaged in ‘pay-to-play’ schemes during her time as Secretary of State and her 2016 campaign for the presidency.
“The last 5 years have ripped the cover off of longstanding global vulnerabilities, but I still believe we can accomplish far more together than we can apart. That’s why I’m looking forward to the next chapter of @ClintonGlobal,” posted Bill Clinton on Twitter.

“Our commitment-based approach to creative cooperation has been successful. Through CGI, more than 3,700 projects and partnerships—what we call Commitments to Action—have been launched, making a difference in the lives of more than 435 million people in over 180 countries. I’m deeply grateful to all of you for the impact you have made with CGI,” writes Clinton.
“Thank you again for all that you have done and continue to do to create a better future. Hillary, Chelsea, and I look forward to sharing more in the coming weeks and months,” he explains on his group’s website.
