The IRS abruptly halted a criminal probe into the Clinton Foundation in 2019, newly released memos and emails reveal.
Whistleblowers John Moynihan and Larry Doyle submitted thousands of pages of evidence alleging the foundation misused funds, commingled personal and charitable activities, and operated as an unregistered foreign agent.
Internal IRS records show investigators initially expressed strong interest, even photographing and registering the whistleblowers as cooperating informants.
One agent reportedly remarked the documents suggested “the entire enterprise is a fraud.” Investigators encouraged witness lists and roadmaps for a potential case.
By mid-2019, the IRS suddenly cooled on the probe. Memos quote agents saying, “we can’t talk about the CF,” signaling a sharp reversal.
Investigative activity ceased by July, despite the whistleblowers’ filings totaling more than 6,300 pages. Emails show confusion inside the IRS about missing or misrouted documents and unclear communication from headquarters.
The whistleblowers’ attorney, Brian Della Rocca, said the IRS abandoned the case despite formally requesting their submissions.
Moynihan and Doyle have since pursued two whistleblower suits in U.S. Tax Court, with one tentatively set for trial in December, per the Conservative Brief.
The 2019 shutdown adds to a history of federal agencies showing interest in Clinton Foundation probes but ultimately backing away. The pair previously filed more than 6,000 pages with the IRS and FBI in 2017, alleging foreign dealings, pay-to-play schemes during Hillary Clinton’s tenure as Secretary of State, and other financial irregularities.
Their evidence included a 2016 interview with longtime Clinton Foundation CFO Andrew Kessel, who allegedly admitted he could not stop Bill Clinton from mixing personal and charitable activities and “knows where all the bodies are buried.”
Moynihan and Doyle also testified to Congress in December 2018, warning the foundation acted as a foreign agent and should have registered under the Foreign Agents Registration Act.
The Clinton Foundation has consistently denied wrongdoing, attributing compliance issues to administrative errors and dismissing allegations as politically motivated.
The reason the IRS stopped the investigation remains unclear, though records suggest field agents took the claims seriously before higher-level decisions curtailed momentum.
The ongoing litigation in Tax Court could reveal who derailed the case and why, as whistleblowers push for accountability in what some view as a politically sensitive investigation into one of America’s most high-profile charities.
