A fresh report that federal prosecutors are probing the Clinton Foundation revived speculation Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton may not be past her email problems, but the Justice Department on Friday declined to confirm the account.
Despite the official decline, The Daily Caller reported that several investigations were being launched including one led by U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara of the Civil Frauds Unit that will focus on Clinton Foundation in New York.
“We’re declining to comment,” a spokesperson told FoxNews.com about the claims.
The FBI had investigated the Clinton Foundation’s relationship with the State Department during then-Secretary Hillary Clinton’s tenure, according to officials at the time.
On Friday, Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, sent a letter to Attorney General Loretta Lynch asking questions about a report that says the Justice Department turned down new requests to investigation the Clinton Foundation for possible wrongdoing.
