December 2, 2025 – Inside the Clinton Foundation – Following the Money

The Clinton Foundation has been praised as a global charity, yet it has also faced long standing allegations of corruption, foreign influence, and questionable fundraising practices. This video examines the accusations that major donors received political access, favorable treatment, or strategic advantages during Hillary Clinton’s time at the State Department. Viewers will learn how the Foundation grew into a powerful political machine and why critics say the lines between charity and influence were not just blurred but ignored.

From foreign governments to multinational corporations, the Clinton Foundation collected massive sums while key allies were positioned inside Washington. This episode looks at the most controversial deals, suspicious donations, and investigative findings that raised red flags. We explain what watchdog groups uncovered, how the Foundation operated behind closed doors, and why so many investigators have called for deeper scrutiny into its financial operations.

This documentary style breakdown gives a balanced and fact driven look at the corruption claims surrounding the Foundation. Whether you are familiar with the controversy or are hearing about it for the first time, this video offers a clear timeline and a strong analysis of how money, politics, and global influence intersected. Join us as we explore one of the most contested political charities in recent American history.

December 3, 2025 – Tax court consolidates Clinton Foundation whistleblower cases, signaling progress towards trial

A judge has agreed to consolidate two cases brought by whistleblowers against the IRS, alleging the tax agency failed to provide them with an award for information on the Clinton Foundation, according to court documents reviewed by Just the News.

The decision, which was not opposed by the IRS, indicates that the trial is moving forward.

The cases were brought by retired federal agent John Moynihan and private fraud expert Larry Doyle and have wound their way through the U.S. Tax Court for years.

(…) Earlier this month in the U.S. Tax Court shows the Chief Judge has ordered several disparate cases associated with the Clinton Foundation information be consolidated into one, setting the stage for a trial, according to a filing reviewed by Just the News.

In the filing, the Chief Judge of the U.S. Tax Court Patrick J. Urda ordered all the parties to submit a report on the “present status” of these cases by Jan. 9, 2026, indicating that the challenge is progressing.

You can read the filing below:

So far, still unresolved

The Tax Court had tentatively scheduled a Dec. 1 trial, but met unexpected resistance from the Trump administration.  The Internal Revenue Service under Trump filed a motion in August in the case arguing that as a matter of administrative and procedural law, the judge should not let the case proceed to trial because after an initial review, the IRS declined to look into the whistleblower complaint and, therefore, the plaintiffs had no standing to sue.

So far, it appears the court has not ruled on that motion to dismiss the case, according to the court docket.

Doyle told Just the News in August that that latest twist is just another example of the resistance the government has displayed to investigating the Clinton Foundation over many years.

“Not surprising that the IRS would seek to dismiss our case in this fashion simply because that is the same tactic the IRS deployed in our initial case ongoing now almost 6 years in US Tax Court and growing more serious everyday,” he said.

“The simple fact is the more the American public learns about the Clinton Foundation as it has in recent days, the more it is entitled to know all the truth and facts involved,” he added.

Moynihan and Doyle first detailed the findings from their investigation in that December 2018 testimony before a House committee.

December 15, 2025 – New FBI docs reveal how the Weiner laptop was suppressed and kept hidden

---

Newly-released FBI documents show that Attorney General Loretta Lynch met with the United States Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Arkansas, which was investigating the Clinton Foundation, on the same day that SDNY got a search warrant for Weiner’s computer.

The computer, also used by Weiner’s wife—Hillary’s top aide, Huma Abedin—contained Hillary emails with possible evidence of Clinton Foundation corruption.

Lynch previously told the investigators to shut down any investigation into the Clintons or the Clinton Foundation.

Following the Loretta Lynch meeting with Clinton Foundation investigators, McCabe ordered that the Weiner laptop must not be shared with the Clinton Foundation investigation.

On McCabe’s orders, the Weiner laptop was buried with Peter Strzok’s ‘Midyear Exam’ team.

Newly-released documents show that Cody Hiland, then United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Arkansas, provided Special Counsel John Durham and U.S. Attorney John W. Huber with material showing how Hillary’s allies in the FBI and DoJ, including Deputy Attorney General… https://t.co/wsX8VsBeCW pic.twitter.com/BEclcICNCx

The Weiner Laptop: A Smoking Gun Suppressed

October 2016 brought a bombshell: The discovery of Clinton emails on Weiner’s laptop during a child exploitation probe. But FBI HQ refused to let the Clinton Foundation team coordinate with the email investigation (Midyear Exam), crafting a narrowly tailored search warrant that excluded Clinton Foundation angles.

Weeks before the 2016 presidential election, the FBI leadership, Comey and McCabe, hid the potential evidence of the corruption of presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, to help her in the election.

Leaks to the Wall Street Journal exposed McCabe’s conflict, forcing his recusal on November 1 – but by that stage the Weiner laptop with Hillary emails was buried by Peter Strzok and co.

Internal memos from EAD Randy Coleman confirm McCabe and EAD Michael Steinbach’s decision to silo the laptop review to Midyear Exam team filled with anti-Trump zealots headed by Peter Strzok.

This meant potential evidence of Foundation crimes – like emails tied to Abedin or Clinton domains – stayed hidden.

Even in 2018-2020 attempts to revisit, warrants were withdrawn over “constitutional concerns”, leaving leads like foreign witnesses untapped.

Explosive New Documents Expose How FBI and DOJ Cronies Shielded the Clintons – And Why They Desperately Sabotaged Trump

The Deep State swamp creatures went all-in on the Russia hoax to stop Donald Trump from winning the 2016 Presidential Election. When he won anyway, they doubled down to take down President Trump.

That’s because President Trump represented a serious threat to the Deep State and their corrupt dealings.

The latest whistleblower revelations from the FBI and the DoJ lay it in stark detail how McCabe, Comey and their allies at the DoJ protected Hillary Clinton, their candidate, despite agents in the field attempting to investigate her.

Released today, these internal FBI and DOJ records reveal a blatant protection racket for Hillary Clinton and her foundation.

Top Obama-Biden era officials, including disgraced FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, actively obstructed investigations into potential Clinton corruption

It was a calculated cover-up that fueled the sabotage of Trump’s presidency to protect their own hides.

Key takeaways from these damning files:

McCabe’s Blatant Conflicts and Orders to Stand Down: McCabe, whose wife pocketed over $675,000 in campaign cash from Clinton ally Terry McAuliffe (a Clinton Foundation board member), personally directed agents to halt “overt investigative steps” without his approval.

Emails show explicit bans on subpoenas, interviews, or even sharing bank info related to the Clintons – all to avoid “any impression we are investigating the Clinton Foundation or the Clintons.”

This came straight from “higher, i.e., the DD (McCabe)” just months before the 2016 election.

Weiner Laptop Blockade: When Anthony Weiner’s laptop surfaced in 2016 with Clinton-linked emails, FBI HQ under McCabe blocked the Foundation probe team from accessing it, funneling everything to the biased “Midyear” squad (including anti-Trump zealot Peter Strzok).

The same “Midyear Exam” Hillary protection squad has been shielding Clinton insiders like Weiner’s wife Huma Abedin from the Hillary email investigation.

Post-Election Interference: Even after Trump won, holdovers provided incomplete timelines omitting leadership meddling when the probe reopened in 2017.

Requests for key evidence “ruffled feathers” at Main Justice, with no responses, and prosecutors flagged “conflicts of interest” in DOJ’s Public Integrity Section tied to the 2016 Clinton probes.

Double Standards on Display: While agents were muzzled on Clinton, the same apparatus unleashed the bogus Russia collusion narrative against Trump – a witch hunt rooted in Clinton-produced and Soros-funded lies like the “Steele Dossier”.

It’s no coincidence: They feared Trump’s DOJ would pursue these leads aggressively, exposing pay-to-play schemes, foreign donations, and potential violations under laws like bribery (18 U.S.C. § 201) and money laundering (18 U.S.C. §§ 1956-1957).

These revelations underscore a simple truth: The Clinton cronies and their FBI enablers conspired to protect Hillary and attack Donald Trump, the People’s Candidate.

Trump represented the end of their impunity, promising to drain the swamp and hold the powerful accountable.

That’s why they fabricated the Russiagate Hoax, leaking lies about “Trump-Russia ties” and starting the FBI investigation of the Trump campaign to derail Donald Trump’s campaign and presidency.

December 15, 2025 – Grassley letter: FBI caught Hillary Clinton discussing donations with foreign felon; explains how Weiner laptop investigation was shut down

As Hillary Clinton closed in on the presidential nomination in the spring of 2016, FBI field officers advised colleagues at headquarters to press her on the foreign donations flowing to the Clinton Foundation while she steered American foreign policy and whether she had used the charity as a campaign piggy bank.

But FBI HQ in Washington — a city in which the former secretary of state and first lady wields enormous influence — let the trail go cold.

FBI New York Assistant Director in Charge Diego Rodriguez advised agents in Washington to ask Clinton several questions about the foundation, which are reproduced in full in documents released to the Senate Judiciary Committee by the FBI and published on Dec. 15. (p. 22) The questions reveal the concerns about foreign bribery that the Clinton Foundation case — codenamed “Cracked Foundation” — had uncovered. (p. 41)

Among the evidence available to investigators, according to their questions: A recorded conversation between Clinton and Indian hotel magnate Sant Singh Chatwal in which Clinton discussed donations to the foundation and her remaining 2008 campaign debt. The new documents confirm that FBI had at one time been “intercepting individuals associated with the Clinton Foundation.” (p. 23)

But when Clinton arrived to the FBI two months later, in July 2016, to answer questions about her use of a private email server in a separate investigation codenamed “Midyear Exam,” D.C. agents asked nothing about the allegations of pay-to-play with foreign governments or use of the global charity as a slush fund.

(…) Chatwal, a longtime family friend and donor, served as a trustee to the Clinton Foundation, a chair of the exploratory committee that preceded Clinton’s 2008 presidential run, and even clinched an invitation to Chelsea Clinton’s wedding, according to a 2016 book by investigative journalist Peter Schweizer called “Clinton Cash,” which helped kick off the Cracked Foundation investigation.

Forbes estimated Chatwal’s properties to be worth $750 million in a 2006 profile.

He pled guilty to laundering straw donations to Clinton’s 2008 campaign committee in 2014, forfeiting $1 million in a deal with the Department of Justice.

“That’s the only way to buy them, get into the system,” Chatwal had told an FBI informant in that case.

The FBI had recorded Chatwal discussing straw donations in 2010 and sought to expand that investigation to the Clinton Foundation, but FBI headquarters would not allow it, the documents state. (p. 5)

Excerpts from Senator Grassley’s letter and timeline of events – 12/15/2025:

(…) According to emails obtained by my office, on July 20, 2016—111 days before the 2016
election—an agent with the FBI’s Criminal Investigative Division (CID) stated that, “based on
the sensitivities surrounding the Clinton Foundation,” agents were prohibited from “subpoena[ing] additional records related to the Foundation, the Clintons”; “conduct[ing] any interviews related to the Foundation or the Clintons”; and “shar[ing] any of the Foundation bank account info with any other offices.” Emails also show that the FBI “[did] not want to create any impression we are investigating the Clinton Foundation or the Clintons. Internal FBI emails from January 12, 2017, show that the direction came from “higher, i.e., the DD (McCabe).”

Records provided to my office show that on September 26, 2016, the US Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York (SDNY) obtained a search warrant for the laptop of Anthony Weiner, whose wife, Huma Abedin, was a political aide to Hillary Clinton during her time as Secretary of State, in connection with a child exploitation investigation. During the course of their investigation, the SDNY discovered information on the Weiner laptop connected to the FBI’s investigation into Hillary Clinton’s mishandling of classified information. According to the records provided to my office, on November 1, 2016, the FBI’s New York Field Office (NYFO) former-Assistant Director in Charge (ADIC) Sweeney, requested that the Clinton Foundation investigative team be allowed to either review the Weiner laptop or be provided a briefing by the Weiner review team, which allegedly FBI HQ initially refused.

For example, according to records provided to my office, on November 7, 2016, then Executive Assistant Director (EAD) Coleman noted that “[i]t was determined by DD McCabe and EAD Steinbach that any follow on investigative activity concerning the emails located on Anthony Weiner’s laptop would be reviewed by the MIDYEAR investigative team.” Accordingly, it appears that the Clinton Foundation investigators, at that time, had to depend on the MIDYEAR team, which included Peter Strzok, for information.

Furthermore, on July 24, 2017, under the Trump administration, the United States Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Arkansas (USAO EDAR) and FBI Little Rock reopened their investigation into the Clinton Foundation. During the course of their investigation, in November 2017, the US Attorney for the EDAR, Cody Hiland, requested information from then-head of DOJ PIN Ray Hulser and then-Acting Chief Anna Lou Tirol about “who made the decision to shut the [original] case down.” Documents provided to my office also note that Hulser provided Hiland with a timeline that “omitted ALL references to interference from DOJ and FBI leadership.”

Emails provided to my office also show that during the course of their reopened investigation, in July 2018, attorneys at the EDAR requested additional information to determine “whether sufficient probable cause exists to submit a search warrant affidavit for the Weiner laptop related to violations of 18 U.S.C. 201(b) and 201(c), 18 U.S.C. § 208, 18 U.S.C. §§ 1343, 1344, 18 U.S.C. § 1956, 1957, 18 U.S.C. § 1962 and perhaps other statutes.” EDAR attorneys also stated that for their team to make the assessment, “our office has determined that there is a need to be given access to some of the information described in the OIG Report that was released on June 11, 2018. This is necessary in order to determine if additional information related to these potential violations is currently possessed and already within the government’s knowledge.” According to emails, the request “ruffled some feathers” and the EDAR didn’t “receive[] any response from that request.”

Emails from September 2018 also indicate that Assistant United States Attorney (AUSA) Jonathan Ross at the EDAR had concerns about support from Main Justice and PIN regarding  the Clinton Foundation investigation, stating that “[b]ut as we have previously discussed, there appear to be conflicts of interest for the leadership there related to the 2016 [Clinton] investigations that undermine any confidence we might normally have in looking to them for assistance.” According to documents provided to my office, prosecutors at the EDAR recommended in July 2019 that a referral be made to the DOJ OIG regarding the “manner in which the investigation had been conducted,” and that they did what they could do “about the interference by DOJ and FBI leadership at the time with the FBI’s [Clinton Foundation] investigation.”

The above are just some examples of interference that occurred when agents and prosecutors investigated the Clinton Foundation. In order for Congress to conduct proper oversight of past DOJ and FBI conduct, please provide the following no later than December 29, 2025:

1. Provide the report titled “Anthony Weiner Laptop Review for Communications Pertinent
to Midyear Exam” dated November 15, 2016.
2. Provide all records related to the search warrant affidavits for Anthony Weiner’s laptop.
3. Provide all records related to the “yellow sheet of paper, at least 7 separate domains viewed on the device that were affiliated with the Clintons,” which was provided to a NYFO ASAC by a NYFO SA Forensic Examiner.
4. Provide all records related to the decision to withdraw the third 2020 search warrant for the Weiner laptop including copies of all documents attached to the FBI EC titled “Withdrawn Search Warrant – Western Digital Hard Disk Drive, MODEL WD2003FZEX, S/N WMC6N0D5ZNA9.”
5. Provide the document titled “Investigative History, Status, and Recommendations Concerning the Clinton Foundation.”
6. Provide all emails related to the Clinton Foundation investigation and Anthony Weiner laptop to, from, or cc’ing Cody Hiland, Jonathan Ross, John Huber, Andrew McCabe, Diane Upchurch, Randy Coleman, Ray Hulser, and Anna Lou Tirol.
7. Provide all records requested in the July 5, 2018, email titled “Request for information related to DOJ OIG report issued June 11, 2018.”
8. Provide all emails and records in Exhibit 1, as well as records produced in conjunction with this letter, in unredacted form.

December 15, 2025 – Hillary Clinton’s own Russia scandal: FBI memos detail how Uranium One probe was thwarted

Running out the clock: The FBI and DOJ slow-walked their investigation into the Clinton Foundation and the sale of Uranium One to Russia-backed interests. As a result of roadblocks, the statute of limitations was allowed to lapse on any prosecution.

Federal investigators believed there was significant evidence worth pursuing related to possible criminality involving the Clinton Foundation and the State Department’s approval of the sale of Uranium One to Russian state-owned interests, but delays by the Justice Department and FBI led the inquiry to whither and die because of statute of limitations issues.

The sale of the Canada-based Uranium One to the Russian state-owned Rosatom was the focus of great controversy and scrutiny from Republicans and others who argued that then-Secretary of State Clinton helped approve the deal and that the Clinton Foundation may have stood to benefit from it.

Career agents and line prosecutors at the FBI and DOJ also believed the saga may have been a criminal one, but orders from DOJ leaders such as then-Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates and then-FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe slow-walked and stonewalled the inquiry to the point where it could no longer be pursued.

FBI agents and DOJ prosecutors in Little Rock, Arkansas and elsewhere closely scrutinized the scandal — but were largely blocked from serious investigative action due to leadership delays and, following those delays, arguments that the statute of limitations had run out.

Jonathan Ross, then the First Assistant U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, argued in a 2018 email that “there is no legal barrier in continuing the present investigation” into the Clinton Foundation and Uranium One. Ross has served as U.S. Attorney in Arkansas since 2022, including during Trump’s second term.

Then-U.S. Attorney Cody Hiland of Arkansas also sent a 2018 email to then-U.S. Attorney John Huber of Utah, largely summarizing Ross’s arguments, stressing that “we do not believe the prosecution is time-barred by a statute of limitations” in part “because payments from the subjects of the investigation to the Foundation were made continuously from 2007 through 2014.”

A newly-declassified internal FBI investigative timeline also argued that claims that the statute of limitations had run out on the Uranium One inquiry “failed to include whether Acts of Concealment such as deleting emails in 2015 and making additional statements and representations about those deletions would have extended the statute of limitations” and also pointed to possible federal criminal statutes such as the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act, major fraud against the United States, and bank fraud.

The timeline also argued that 18 U.S. Code § 3287 — Wartime Suspension of Statute of Limitations Act — should have extended the statute of limitations for this alleged criminality as well.

Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, made the records produced to him by FBI Director Kash Patel and Attorney General Pam Bondi available to Just the News this past weekend. (Read more: Just the News, 12/15/2025)  (Archive)
