Pam Bondi and Kash Patel Unveil ‘Clinton Corruption Files’ Detailing Damning Foundation Donations

Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel have delivered to Congress a newly compiled set of documents, described by officials as the “Clinton Corruption Files,” containing evidence that foreign and domestic donors sought influence through contributions to the Clinton Foundation, as reported by Just the News.

The material, transmitted to the Senate Judiciary Committee in recent days, raises renewed concerns that federal investigators were blocked from pursuing key corruption evidence during prior probes.

According to officials who spoke with Just the News, the files include records showing that foreign nationals and at least one U.S. defense contractor made donations to the Clinton Foundation during periods when they had interests pending before the U.S. government.

Some of these contributions occurred while Hillary Clinton was serving as Secretary of State from 2009 to 2013.

Bill Clinton, who served as President of the United States from 1993 to 2001, continued to engage in global speaking and philanthropic activities during the same period.

Officials said the newly surfaced evidence could provide additional insight into whether donors attempted to use the foundation as a channel to secure access or favor with government officials.

Sources familiar with the files said some of the records originated from whistleblowers who alleged that critical evidence was withheld from prosecutors working on a 2015 corruption investigation at the U.S. attorney’s office in Little Rock, Arkansas.

That investigation, which sought to determine whether the Clinton Foundation engaged in pay-to-play activities, was reportedly shut down under the direction of the Obama Justice Department.

“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,” one official directly familiar with the documents told Just the News.

Bondi and Patel have reportedly been collecting the records for several weeks and plan to make them public as early as the end of this week, once whistleblower identities have been redacted. Officials said the documents are being organized for public release in stages.

In addition, officials expect related evidence to surface in the ongoing Arctic Frost investigation being conducted by Special Counsel Jack Smith.

The expected disclosures could include new records detailing communications between Smith and senior FBI officials, including former Director Christopher Wray, as well as efforts to obtain phone records of members of Congress.

Earlier reporting indicated that the FBI opened three separate investigations into potential pay-to-play schemes involving the Clinton Foundation between 2014 and 2016.

All were ordered closed by then–Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates, who directed agents to “shut it down,” according to internal accounts.

Officials said the newly obtained files reveal that lower-level FBI agents and field prosecutors had collected information pointing to possible financial misconduct and influence operations, but that key findings never reached higher levels of the Department of Justice.

Bondi and Patel’s handover of the “Clinton Corruption Files” marks the most substantial new development in the years-long effort to uncover whether the former first family’s charitable foundation served as a vehicle for political and financial influence.
