The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) abruptly shuttered an investigation into the Clinton Foundation during the first Trump administration, according to internal IRS memos, emails and related notes reviewed by Just The News.

The whistleblowers, John Moynihan, a retired Drug Enforcement Agency financial crimes analyst, and Larry Doyle, a corporate tax compliance expert, had submitted extensive documentation to the IRS, according to Just The News. The whistleblowers alleged the Clinton Foundation had mishandled funds, mingled personal and charitable finances and possibly engaged in quid pro quo arrangements.

“Can’t talk about the CF,” one IRS agent allegedly stated in a memo, cutting off communication with two whistleblowers who had been working with the agency for months, according to Just The News.

Between January and April 2019, the whistleblowers met repeatedly with IRS investigators, presenting detailed evidence, including thumb drives with thousands of pages of documents, charts mapping financial networks and lists of potential witnesses, the outlet reported. But by July 2019, all investigative activity had ground to a halt.

The whistleblowers contend that there is “absolutely no doubt that somebody up the chain of command blocked this pursuit,” Just The News reported. Moynihan and Doyle are currently pursuing two cases in the U.S. Tax Court, arguing they were wrongly denied an award for identifying alleged tax irregularities at the Clinton Foundation.
