• There is a growing push for legislation to bar wealthy foreign billionaires like Switzerland’s Hansjorg Wyss from pouring hundreds of millions of dollars in support of leftist causes in the United States, with a new ad campaign arguing that the billionaire’s aim is using a loophole to transform U.S. politics.
• The ad campaign from Americans for Public Trust, a nonpartisan watchdog, says Wyss has steered hundreds of millions of dollars to leftist and Democrat-aligned groups, pushing for changes to U.S. election laws and radical policies such as packing the Supreme Court.
• Caitlin Sutherland, the group’s executive director, said Wyss is doing so “taking advantage” of gaps in our legal system to influence elections.
