How NXIVM Allegedly Tried to “Curry Favor” With the Clintons
A former member of NXIVM testified on Monday that members of the alleged cult tried to buy power and influence by currying favor with politicians and making illegal campaign contributions to the Clintons.
Mark Vicente, a documentary filmmaker and former high-ranking member of the group, testified at the trial of NXIVM head Keith Raniere that Clare Bronfman, the billionaire Seagram’s heiress and alleged benefactor of the organization, approached him and a few other members of the group to help her make a contribution to a Clinton campaign. Bronfman, the youngest daughter of Seagram’s billionaire Edgar Bronfman, Jr., pleaded guilty in April to one count of credit card fraud and harboring someone in the U.S. illegally for unpaid labor and services.
