Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel have given Congress a new set of documents that show how Bill and Hillary Clinton’s foundation took donations from both foreign and domestic groups that wanted to have an impact.
Just the News was told by officials that the documents were sent to the Senate Judiciary Committee in the last few days. They show many times that foreigners and even a U.S. defense contractor tried to win over the Clintons by giving money to their family charity, even when Hillary Clinton was Secretary of State. Bill Clinton was the U.S. president from 1993 to 2001.
The officials stated that some of the information was brought to their attention by whistleblowers who indicated that it was hidden from a corruption probe that the Little Rock, Ark., U.S. attorney’s office was doing in 2015 before the Obama administration’s Justice Department shut it down.
The documents will make clear that there was an effort “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,” said one official directly familiar with the documents.
Hillary Clinton is still engulfed in allegations from the Trump-Russia collusion hoax.
New disclosures from the government’s “Crossfire Hurricane” investigation into the 2016 election, otherwise known as alleged “Trump-Russia collusion,” have revealed a stunning admission from top Obama-era officials.
A newly declassified memo, released by Director of Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, shows that U.S. intelligence officials concluded Russia did not play a significant role in Donald Trump’s victory over Hillary Clinton.
Paul Sperry, a senior reporter for Real Clear Investigations, reported that sources informed him that there are damning text messages and emails showing coordination between the Obama administration and Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign aides.
“DEVELOPING: I’m told there are texts/emails indicating Hillary Clinton campaign aides directly coordinated with the Obama White House, NSC, State Dept and Intelligence Community officials in efforts to dig up dirt tying Donald Trump to Vladimir Putin in July 2016 …developing…” Perry wrote.
The documents released by Gabbard are the clearest proof yet that officials within the Obama administration had serious doubts about Russian interference, even as they proceeded with the investigation.
The memo, dated 2016, told then-President Barack Obama directly that “Russian and criminal actors did not impact recent US election results by conducting malicious cyber activities against election infrastructure.”
While acknowledging prior reports about a possible breach of Illinois voter rolls and failed targeting attempts in other states, the memo clearly states that those efforts never compromised voting systems—and didn’t come close to altering results.
“The targeting of infrastructure not used in casting ballots makes it highly unlikely it would have resulted in altering any state’s official vote,” the document reads. It goes further: “Criminal activity also failed to reach the scale and sophistication necessary to change election outcomes.”
The disclosure is a major vindication for Trump, who has long argued that the Russia collusion narrative was a hoax pushed by the Clinton campaign and Obama intelligence officials to sabotage his presidency before it began.
And now the pressure is turning on the people who pushed it.
FBI officials are preparing the groundwork for a possible criminal investigation into former CIA Director John Brennan, former FBI Director James Comey, and others involved in launching and running the Crossfire Hurricane probe.
This document falsely claimed connections between Trump and Russian agents.
A 200-page congressional audit has been compiled after a secret meeting last weekend between the DOJ and intelligence officials. They’re now looking at whether to declassify even more documents, including Crossfire Hurricane notes and transcripts from special counsel John Durham’s investigation, which concluded in 2023 that the Trump–Russia connection was baseless.
Gabbard’s disclosure appears to be the first step in a broader transparency effort.
