The Swiss billionaire Hansjörg Wyss has a profound interest in American politics. Over the years, he has pumped $475 million he has earned manufacturing medical devices into left-wing advocacy groups – $72 million in 2021 alone, according to a new report from the conservative watchdog group, Americans for Public Trust.
Americans for Public Trust (APT) released a new report documenting the extent to which Hansjörg Wyss has exploited the foreign influence loophole—a mechanism that has seemingly allowed him to skirt the federal ban on foreign nationals directly or indirectly influencing U.S. elections.
