The story of Hanukkah teaches us that even a little bit of light, wherever it is found, can dispel the darkness and illuminate a path forward. From our family to yours, Jill and I wish you and your loved ones a Chanukah Sameach, a Happy Hanukkah!

Corruption devastates communities around the globe. The U.S. stands on the side of reformers - strengthening multilateral cooperation, returning stolen assets responsibly, protecting journalists & activists, & activating new financial transparency measures.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/…

In a world increasingly filled with leaders who have changed laws, killed people, and stormed parliaments to cling to power, Joe Biden just flipped the script.

Joe Biden has been one of America’s most consequential presidents, as well as a dear friend and partner to me. Today, we’ve also been reminded – again – that he’s a patriot of the highest order. Here’s my full statement: barackobama.medium.com/my-statement-o…

Today Treasury Department issued new rules to guard against money-laundering, including in the U.S. real estate market – so that law-abiding homebuyers are not disadvantaged.

Glad to reengage 🇺🇦 DPM & Minister of Justice Olga Stefanishyna in Montreal on anticorruption progress & partnering with civil society to strengthen Ukraine’s democracy. We stand with the 🇺🇦 people as they work to win the war & win their Euro-Atlantic future.

I said I would take on dirty money when I became Foreign Secretary. Today, I am.

Autocratic governments thrive on corruption. It is a cancer. Congrats to Department of State for strengthening anti-corruption programs and promoting democracy, respect for human rights and good governance. These are values at the core of our national security. youtube.com/live/Rm9yPEwy_…

Proud to be part of the amazing interagency team putting the U.S.’s historic elevation of #AntiCorruption into practice, including “taking steps to ensure that our own financial system serves as a check rather than an accomplice to corrupt behavior.” - Jake Sullivan Archived

Spending time with this year’s Department of State #AntiCorruption champions was truly uplifting. Their tenacity, vision, and energy is moving mountains. Grateful to Secretary Antony Blinken for expressing U.S. solidarity with these leaders.

Kickbacks, conflicts of interest, and collusion may seem abstract – but their impact on health, income, and security is all too real. My new piece grapples with those real-world impacts, while charting a path forward. justsecurity.org/118796/human-c…

Harnessing public concern over rising #corruption makes sense for U.S. #democracy advocates—but doing so can fuel apathy and authoritarianism unless corruption narratives also cultivate hope. Read my latest via Carnegie Endowment ⬇️.

When President Trump says “it sort of looks bad,” believe him.
