- Bondi and Patel handed Congress the "Clinton Corruption Files" alleging pay-to-play donations to the Clinton Foundation during Hillary's State Department tenure.
- Whistleblowers claim evidence was intentionally blocked by Obama-era DOJ and FBI higher-ups, preventing prosecutions and hiding key findings.
- The files may be publicly released soon, potentially reigniting probes, possible indictments, and fresh partisan fallout.
Washington, D.C. – November 11, 2025 – In a move that’s got everyone from Capitol Hill watchers to old-school investigators buzzing, Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel have quietly turned over a fresh batch of documents to Congress that they’re calling the “Clinton Corruption Files.”
These aren’t just dusty old memos – officials say they lay out in stark detail how the Clinton Foundation raked in donations from foreign players and even a U.S. defense contractor, all seemingly angling for favors during Hillary Clinton’s time as Secretary of State.
If you’ve followed the Clinton Foundation saga for years, this feels like the lid finally blowing off something that’s been simmering since the Obama era.

Back then, whispers of pay-to-play schemes swirled around the foundation – Bill and Hillary’s global charity powerhouse that pulled in hundreds of millions while she ran Foggy Bottom.
But probes kept hitting brick walls. Now, these new docs, sent over to the Senate Judiciary Committee just days ago, are shining a light on why that might’ve happened.
One official familiar with the files didn’t mince words: The documents will make clear that there was an effort “to obstruct legitimate inquiries into the Foundation by blocking real investigation by line-level FBI agents and DOJ field prosecutors and keeping them from following the money.”
That’s a direct quote, and it’s chilling – suggesting higher-ups deliberately kept damning info away from the folks actually trying to dig into potential corruption.
What Exactly Is in These “Clinton Corruption Files”?
From what sources are spilling, the cache includes whistleblower-flagged evidence of foreigners and domestic bigwigs funneling cash to the Clintons’ charity in hopes of currying favor.
We’re talking specific instances where donors – including that unnamed U.S. defense contractor – appeared to be buying access or influence.
This all overlapped with Hillary’s State Department tenure (2009-2013), when the foundation was supposed to be above board but faced endless questions about conflicts of interest.
Bondi and Patel have been piecing this together for weeks, officials say. And get this: Some of it ties back to a 2015 corruption probe out of the Little Rock U.S. Attorney’s office that got mysteriously shuttered by Obama-era Justice Department brass.
Whistleblowers apparently screamed that key evidence never made it to prosecutors – and now we might see why.
It’s worth remembering the backstory here. Just the News broke earlier this year that the FBI ran three separate investigations into possible pay-to-play at the foundation. All of them?
Slammed shut after Obama Deputy AG Sally Yates reportedly ordered agents to “shut it down.”
That timeline, uncovered by Patel himself, showed agents in Little Rock, New York, and D.C. getting roadblocked at every turn – no subpoenas, no grand juries, just dead ends.
Why Now? And What’s Next?
Bondi and Patel aren’t stopping at Congress. They’re gearing up to release these files publicly – possibly by the end of this week – once they scrub anything that could expose whistleblowers.
That’s huge, because protecting those insiders has been a big hang-up in past leaks.
This drop comes amid a broader push under the Trump 2.0 admin to air out old scandals.
Patel’s already unearthed memos showing political interference in Clinton probes, and Bondi’s greenlit strike forces looking into everything from Russiagate to foundation shenanigans.
One source close to the matter said lower-level agents and prosecutors were systematically kept in the dark, preventing info from reaching decision-makers.
The Bigger Picture: Echoes of Old Scandals Resurfacing
Let’s not kid ourselves – the Clinton Foundation has been a lightning rod forever.
Critics have long pointed to donations from sketchy foreign governments while Hillary approved arms deals or shaped policy.
Defenders say it was all legit charity work. But with whistleblowers now backing up claims of hidden evidence, this could reopen debates big time.
And it’s not just the Clintons in the spotlight. Officials hinted at more releases this week tied to Jack Smith’s “Arctic Frost” probe – think new dirt on contacts with ex-FBI boss Christopher Wray and snooping on Congress members’ phone records.
Will This Lead to Accountability?
That’s the million-dollar question (or billion, given the foundation’s haul). Past probes – like the one Jeff Sessions handed to John Huber in 2017 – fizzled without charges.
Key whistleblowers like Lawrence Doyle and John Moynihan claimed their evidence got “lost” three times.
Now, with Bondi and Patel at the helm, sources say willing prosecutors are stepping forward to help connect the dots.
If these files go public as promised, expect fireworks. Will they finally prove obstruction? Spark new indictments?
Or just fuel more partisan fireworks?
One thing’s clear: In a town where old grudges die hard, the Clintons’ past is roaring back – and this time, the evidence might not stay buried.
