The Justice Department has launched a new investigation
into allegations the Clinton Foundation used "pay to play" politics
while Hillary Clinton was U.S. secretary of state, Fox News has confirmed.
A source familiar with the investigation told Fox News
late Thursday the investigation is being led by the U.S. Attorney’s office and
the FBI in Little Rock, Ark.
Fox News also has learned investigators are looking
into whether the Clinton Foundation violated tax law. Accusers of
"pay to play" have claimed the foundation promised favors in exchange
for donations or pledges of cash or gifts.
The Hill, which broke the story Thursday evening, added that FBI
agents have taken the lead in the investigation and have interviewed at least
one witness in the last month.
Spokespeople for Hillary Clinton and the Clinton
Foundation did not immediately respond to the Hill's requests for comment.
