Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel have delivered to Congress a new batch of records said to detail how the Clinton Foundation received donations from foreign and domestic entities seeking influence with Bill and Hillary Clinton.
The documents, sent to the Senate Judiciary Committee in recent days, reportedly include examples of a U.S. defense contractor and multiple foreign nationals making contributions while Hillary Clinton served as secretary of state.
Officials familiar with the materials told Just the News that some of the evidence originated from whistleblowers who alleged it was withheld from a 2015 corruption probe led by the U.S. attorney’s office in Little Rock, Arkansas, before the Obama Justice Department shut the case down. One official said the files reveal efforts “to obstruct legitimate inquiries into the Foundation by blocking real investigation by line-level FBI agents and DOJ field prosecutors and keeping them from following the money.”
The cache, referred to internally as the “Clinton corruption files,” has been under review for weeks. Bondi and Patel are expected to release the documents publicly once whistleblower protections are finalized, possibly by the end of the week.
Officials also anticipate new disclosures this week from Special Counsel Jack Smith’s Arctic Frostinvestigation, including communications between Smith and senior FBI officials such as Christopher Wray and details on efforts to obtain the phone records of sitting members of Congress.
Earlier reports from Just the News revealed the FBI opened three separate probes into alleged pay-to-play activity involving the Clinton Foundation, all of which were closed after then–Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates ordered agents to “shut it down.” The new files are said to show how information gathered by lower-level FBI agents and prosecutors was prevented from reaching top decision-makers during those investigations.
