Email Obtained by Kash Patel Shows Former Obama Deputy AG Directed FBI to Halt Clinton Foundation Investigation: Report

A newly obtained document reportedly reveals that former Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates, who served under former President Barack Obama, instructed FBI agents to halt an ongoing criminal investigation into the Clinton Foundation during the 2016 election cycle. 

Investigative journalist John Solomon first reported the email, claiming it was acquired by FBI Director Kash Patel.

The Clinton Foundation probe, active across New York, Washington, D.C. and Little Rock, allegedly examined whether Hillary Clinton, as Secretary of State, engaged in a pay-to-play influence scheme. 

Investigators reportedly believed that foreign nationals and other donors contributed substantial sums in exchange for access to State Department officials and favors that could influence U.S. policy decisions.

According to Solomon, the investigation faced repeated obstacles from top FBI officials. Then–Deputy Director Andrew McCabe is said to have restricted the probe by requiring personal authorization for any significant actions. 

Critics have raised questions about McCabe’s impartiality, noting that his spouse received campaign donations from a Clinton ally while he was present at a meeting where assistance was sought.

Efforts to secure support from U.S. Attorney offices proved largely unsuccessful. 

Agents reportedly requested cooperation from four separate offices to aid with subpoenas, grand jury proceedings and evidence collection, but three declined, leaving investigators without essential resources at a critical stage of the case.

The most explosive element, as reported by Solomon, is the email from Yates explicitly directing the FBI to “shut it down,” effectively ending the investigation during a pivotal moment before the election. 

Solomon suggested the order provided the Clintons with de facto immunity while the probe remained active in multiple FBI offices.

“Tonight, we’re going to tell you about the other Clinton investigation—one that was running in three separate FBI offices,” Solomon stated. “Three separate agencies believed they had predicated evidence to pursue.”

“But every time they tried to move the ball down the road in the shadows of the 2016 election, they got shut down at the highest levels of their agency.”

Several prosecutors have reportedly stepped forward since then, indicating willingness to cooperate with Congress and Trump-aligned investigators, The Gateway Pundit reports. 

Patel is said to possess additional emails from Obama-era officials that he intends to turn over to lawmakers, potentially providing further insight into the investigation’s abrupt closure.

The Clinton Foundation investigation has long been linked to Clinton’s private email server, which Judicial Watch revealed she used for official business while Secretary of State. 

Reports indicate that the server may have allowed preferential treatment for donors to the foundation. 

Judge Royce Lamberth has described Clinton’s handling of private emails as “one of the gravest modern offenses to government transparency.”

Solomon framed the case as part of a larger pattern of political manipulation. 

He claimed there was a dual strategy: pursuing unfounded allegations against Republicans while shielding high-profile Democrats from scrutiny, including figures such as Clinton and former President Joe Biden. 

The investigation itself was reportedly halted by the Biden Justice Department in August 2021, marking a sudden cessation of FBI activity in the case.
