Following publication of investigation report in Indian media exposing involvement of Monica Yunus, daughter of Muhammad Yunus in the President’s Committee on the Arts and the Humanities (PCAH) under Joe Biden’s presidency, which is an advisory committee to the President of the United States on cultural issues, the website of this entity has been mysteriously shutdown. Clicking on the website PCAH.gov from Bangladesh and a number of countries shows – the site is down.

Earlier, several individuals on social media posts stated, “Monica Yunus, touted as a new spokesperson for President Biden’s Committee on the Arts and the Humanities, now stands at the center of a rapidly intensifying scandal”.

Drawing attention of President Donald J. Trump, those posts said, “Until Yunus steps out of the shadows with a full-throated and evidence-backed rebuttal, the stench of impropriety only gets worse. If the White House won’t hold her to account, then it’s complicit in perpetuating a culture of political favoritism—and that’s a slap in the face to anyone who believes our government should serve the nation’s best interests, not private agendas lurking behind closed doors”.

Meanwhile, Indian media outlet in a report stated, “Mohammad Yunus, who played a key role in helping remove former Bangladeshi Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina from power, is now facing potential trouble with U.S. President Donald Trump. Yunus has a long history of connections with Hillary Clinton, who was known for opposing Trump. In 2016, Yunus made a donation of USD 300,000 (around Rs. 2.5 crore) to the Hillary Clinton Foundation. His daughter, Monica Yunus, lives in the U.S., which has upset Trump. As a result, Yunus may now find himself under investigation by Trump’s new administration”.

It further said, “Yunus, who has been critical of Trump, may soon face several investigations because of his ties to Clinton. He is accused of having a close relationship with Clinton, which is said to have helped his daughter, Monica, secure a prominent role in former President Joe Biden’s administration. Reports also suggest that Yunus’s connections with the Clinton family were so strong that, during Hillary Clinton’s time as U.S. Secretary of State, he received millions of dollars in loans”.

Trashing this report, Press Section of Yunus is a statement said, “Prof Yunus did not donate any money to the Hillary Clinton Foundation as claimed in the post. His friendship with the Clintons has not benefitted his daughter, Monica Yunus, and, contrary to the claim, she never held any position in Joe Biden’s administration, according to the statement. The report of Professor Yunus receiving millions of dollars in loans while Hillary Clinton served as US Secretary of States is also false”.

Scandal linked to Bill and Hillary Clinton

Hillary Clinton has been criticized for using her office during the tenure of being the Secretary of State in granting special privilege to large donors of her family’s Clinton Foundation.

Back in 2016, the Associated Press published an investigative report based on logs of meetings Hillary Clinton took as Secretary of State. In the story, the AP stated that at least 85 of 154 people from private interests that Clinton met or had phone conversations with while Secretary of State donated to the Clinton Foundation. In total, the 85 donors contributed as much as US$156 million to the Foundation. Link to this AP report has been deleted.

Commenting on the Clinton Foundation scandal, Gersh Kuntzman in an article in the New York Daily news termed it – “impossible to defend”.

In February 2015, The Wall Street Journal reported that Australia, Germany, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and a Canadian government agency that was trying to get the Keystone........
