Ghislaine Maxwell's Nephew Worked Under Hillary Clinton at State Department
2020-08-22
BLUF:
[Daily Beast] Now the celebrity tabloid OK! Magazine is reporting that ex-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton "gifted" Maxwell’s nephew, Alexander Djerassi, a position within her department when he was just out of college and gave him "special treatment."

A State Department spokesperson told The Daily Beast that Djerassi served as a "Staff Assistant" from May 2009 to June 2012. The Daily Beast could not confirm whether the role was in fact "gifted" by Clinton.

But a friend of Djerassi told The Daily Beast that Maxwell played no part in introducing Djerassi to Clinton or recommending him for the jobs with the former First Lady.

"These are false allegations against a talented and qualified public servant," the friend said.

The reports come as Maxwell, 58, awaits trial in a Brooklyn federal lockup for allegedly grooming and trafficking girls for Epstein.

The report also appears to reference Djerassi’s LinkedIn profile, which lists his role as chief of staff for the "Office of the Assistant Secretary of State, Bureau of Near Eastern Affairs" from May 2011 to June 2012. Djerassi served as special assistant to the office from May 2009 to May 2011, his online profile says.

Djerassi’s name also popped up in a collection of Clinton’s emails hacked via WikiLeaks. In a November 2011 message, Assistant Secretary Jeffrey Feltman referred to his "special assistant, Alex Djerassi." Feltman mentioned Djerassi again in a January 2012 email, according to WikiLeaks.

Djerassi was also a nonresident associate at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. A biography on the endowment’s website states Djerassi’s research "focused on Tunisia and U.S. foreign policy toward the Middle East and North Africa." The bio adds, "From 2009 to 2012, Djerassi was chief of staff and special assistant in the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Near Eastern Affairs, covering U.S. relations with Arab states, Israel, and Iran. He worked on matters relating to democratization and civil society in the Arab world, the Arab uprisings, and Israeli-Palestinian peace."
