JFKs nephew received $1.4bn taxpayer bailout for his struggling green energy firm Firm had $1.8bn debt and needed cash to survive Former employee who landed job in White House after funding Obama campaign made the payment The nephew of former president John F. Kennedy has been given a secret £1.4bn bailout for his company thanks to his White House connections, a new book has claimed. Robert F. Kennedy Jr is said to have received the vast sum of tax-payers cash for his green energy firm BrightSource while it was $1.8bn in debt in 2010. The payment was made by Sanjay Wagle, a former BrightSource employee who after raising money for Barack Obama was rewarded with a job in the U.S. Department of Energy, it is claimed. The revelation was made in an explosive new book, Throw The All Out, which exposes the secret financial deals of an inner circle of businessmen and politicians in the White House. The author Peter Schweizer says that the payment was made to Kennedy Jr. thanks to connections in Washington. Kennedy Jr. is the son of Robert F. Kennedy and Ethel Skakel Kennedy. Robert Bobby Kennedy is the brother of the former president JFK, who was assassinated in 1963. Following JFKs assasiantion in November 1963, Robert Bobby Kennedy continued to serve as Attorney General under President Lyndon B. Johnson for nine months. However, he later split after disagreements over the Vietnam War and by 1968 was a favourite for the Democratic Party leadership. dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2062638/JFKs-nephew-received-1-4bn-taxpayer-bailout-struggling-green-energy-firm.html
