But Hansjörg Wyss has never been one to be pigeonholed by one type of philanthropy. The foundation also gives regular grants to liberal think tank the Center for American Progress. And the Wyss Foundation is just one of his philanthropic endeavors. He also runs the HJW Foundation, which is more concerned with progressive and social justice issues including health care and reproductive rights.
Liberal groups refuse to talk about links to funder with tainted history of illegal human experiments
A code of silence is apparently in force among Democratic and liberal activists groups funded by Swiss billionaire Hansjorg Wyss, whose former company conducted illegal human experiments where three elderly patients died.
None of the 10 organizations contacted by the Washington Examiner would discuss any aspect of their relationship with Wyss.
Between them, the 10 groups have received more than $44 million since 2008 from the HJW Foundation, the billionaire's private foundation
The Examiner reported July 23 that John Podesta received $87,000 as a paid consultant to a Wyss-controlled foundation before joining President Obama's inner circle of White House advisers.
Podesta has also benefited from the more than $4 million Wyss has given to the Center for American Progress since 2008.
Podesta was the founding president of CAP and remains as chairman of its board of directors, which also includes Wyss, former Secretary of State Madeline Albright; former Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle, D-S.D; and former Obama White House energy czar Carol Browner.
