Hansjörg Wyss Returns To The News — Hansjörg Wyss, the reclusive Swiss billionaire and mega-donor to American Democrats, returned to the news this week when it was revealed that he was funneling millions to Democrat-supporting “nonprofits” to influence the midterm elections.
It was estimated that Wyss has funneled more than $253 million to Democratic candidates and related causes since 2016 — including efforts to impeach President Trump.
Wyss last graced this site in 2018 concerning a report that an investigation into an alleged 2011 sexual assault by Wyss was reopened by the Morris County (NJ) Prosecutor’s Office.
We contacted the office for an update and it was explained that it was decided in 2014 that the evidence in the case was insufficient for a prosecution. New evidence was obtained in 2017 but after review it was still considered insufficient and the case was never reopened.
