FBI agents uncovered evidence of pay-to-play at the Clinton Foundation in 2016.
DOJ leadership & McCabe ordered them to ‘Shut it down.’
We’ve now declassified the memo. This is proof of political interference at the highest levels.
The post by Kash Patel, confirmed as FBI Director in February 2025 after a contentious 51-49 Senate vote, references a declassified memo alleging that in 2016, FBI agents found evidence of a “pay-to-play” scheme at the Clinton Foundation, which was shut down by DOJ leadership and Andrew McCabe, hinting at political interference during Hillary Clinton’s election campaign.
History reveals the Clinton Foundation, established in 2001, has been scrutinized since 2016 when Donald Trump accused it of enabling “pay-to-play” schemes, a claim partially supported by a 2016 Associated Press analysis showing 85 of 154 private interests meeting with Clinton as Secretary of State donated to the Foundation, though no peer-reviewed study has conclusively proven illegal activity.
