Bronfman was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by U.S. President Bill Clinton in August 1999.
The Bronfman family are long time friends, and fundraisers for the Clintons.
Edgar Bronfman was a key friend, especially during his tenure as President of the World Jewish Congress.
Edgar Bronfman Sr. - Wikipedia.
If the NXIVM sex slavery story dropped from the headlines so quickly and quietly, don't be surprised if this one does as well.
just looking at the article, it seems he wasn't really a fan of them, calling them a "cult" long before they were ever caught up in this controversy - and he's dead now, so....
Sorry, can you point me in the direction of that quote? I know that Bronfman Sr was very close to the Clintons, and two of his children were regular visitors to Epstein's house, and one was implemented in the NXIVM cult.
In 2003, a Forbes magazine article reported that Bronfman took a course from NXIVM, endorsing it, but had since "grown troubled" due to the "emotional and financial investment" daughters Clare and Sara were giving to Raniere's group, remarking that Clare had loaned NXIVM $2 million, though she denied this. Bronfman was quoted stating, "I think it's a cult."[46] In 2018, Raniere, then daughter Clare and her long-time mentor NXIVM president Nancy Salzman, among others, were arrested on federal charges in connection with NXIVM.[47] In September 2018, daughter Sara was named the defendant in a 2018 class-action suit regarding her NXIVM activities.[48]
From the article YOU linked -
Seagram's founder and Bronfman family patriarch, Samuel, was himself entangled with former FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover and Hoover's associate Roy Cohn, who employed sexual blackmail as their main source of political power.
Thanks. Bronfman's money was bankrolling the sex cult, but he shied away apparently. Thanks for clearing that up.
This story just gets weirder and weirder:
Sounds like a heck of a family, the Bronfmans. Cohn was once touted as a mentor to Trump.
Roy Cohn was Senator MacCarthy's lawyer in the 1950's communist witch hunts. I've always considered Cohn to be the epitome of evil.
