FBI Investigating Claims of Bribery at Clinton Foundation


Although the FBI formally opted to not pursue charges against Hillary earlier this year, a new report from the Wall Street Journal claims that the bureau has been looking into allegations of bribery at the Clinton Foundation. The investigation is said to span the entire country and involve agents from multiple offices:

“As far back as February 2016, FBI agents made the presentation to the Department of Justice (DOJ), the WSJ’s sources stated. ‘The meeting didn’t go well,’ they wrote. While some sources said the FBI’s evidence was not strong enough, others believed the DOJ had no intention of going any further from the start. Barrett wrote that the DOJ officials were ‘stern, icy and dismissive of the case.’

Barrett wrote, ‘‘That was one of the weirdest meetings I’ve ever been to,’ one participant told others afterward, according to people familiar with the matter.’

It appears there was a rift between the FBI and the DOJ about how to move forward with the investigation. Agents in the Washington office were directed to focus on a separate issue related to the actions of former Virginia Governor and Clinton Foundation Board member Terry McAuliffe. Agents inside the FBI believed they could build a stronger case if the investigation of McAuliffe and the foundation were combined.

FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe seemed to be caught in the middle of the fight between DOJ officials who appeared to want to slow down or shut down the investigation, and FBI agents who were eager to pour more resources into the investigation.”
