The Clintons have long focused on trying to help Haiti, culminating in their leadership during the aftermath of the 2010 earthquake and involvement in dispersing $13 billion in aid.

The crime crisis in Haiti has prompted past allegations to resurface about the roles former President Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton played in the nation’s recovery after a 2010 earthquake. 'I got a chance to watch a lot of the things that happened on the ground,' Jack Brewer, a former NFL player and philanthropist who has pursued initiatives to help rebuild Haiti, told Fox News Digital last week.

Brewer said he feels many Haitians 'believe that America is one of the roots of the problem,' going back to the Clintons and their rebuilding efforts following the earthquake. When asked about their role in the Haiti recovery, spokespersons for the former president and the secretary told Fox News Digital: 'The Clintons worked tirelessly to address the needs of the Haitian people in the aftermath of the devastating earthquake.

Despite Bill Clinton’s 'romantic' ambitions for the island, five years after the earthquake, the island had seen 'billions of dollars … poured into the country, the faucet controlled by Hillary and Bill, and the funds ended up in worthless projects – and in the pockets of the Clintons’ friends and allies.' Schweizer cited federal government audits in stating that 'much of the taxpayer money intended for practical rebuilding was squandered.
