Bombshell: Clinton Foundation Witnesses Coming Forward In Pay-For-Play Investigation
Today, New York Times Bestselling author Ed Klein has revealed on The Sean Hannity Show that sources have confirmed to him that not only is The Clinton Foundation under federal investigation, but also at least one Clinton Foundation insider is prepared to testify in a court of law against Hillary.
Reports of legal troubles for the foundation began last week when The Daily Caller reported that a joint FBI-US Attorney probe of The Clinton Foundation is currently underway. The charge is supported by a number of emails recently released by Judicial Watch, which suggest The Clinton Foundation engaged in pay-for-play while Hillary Clinton was Secretary of State.
"We are a long way from Hillary Clinton sliding into The White House without having some real serious legal problems before this election," Klein told Hannity.
During his interview, Klein, author of the forthcoming book Guilty As Sin, dropped a number of bombshells:
- Klein confirmed that
the ongoing investigation is being led by Preet Bharara, U.S. Attorney
for the Southern District of New York. Although he was appointed by
Barack Obama, Bharara is known as a hard-nosed attorney--and has the
track record to prove it. Bharara has successfully prosecuted dozens of
Wall Street Executives and powerful politicians, including former New
York's Democratic Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver, who was sent to
prison for 12 years on federal corruption charges.
Bharara is reportedly working with the
Federal Bureau of Investigation and two other District Attorneys, one in
Little Rock, Arkansas, and another in Washington D.C.
"This investigation, I would say, is
hotter than ever," Klein told Sean. Klein added that FBI Director James
Comey may be seeking to "redeem himself" with a public corruption charge
against Hillary after he failed to recommend indictment for her
mishandling of classified information.
- According to Klein,
Comey and Bharara have been in contact for months on the subject of
Hillary Clinton's public corruption with the Clinton Foundation while
she was Secretary of State.
- Sources have confirmed
to Klein that Bharara has lined up several witnesses who are willing to
testify. According to Klein, at least one of those sources used to work
for the Clinton Foundation, and would have first-hand knowledge of any
pay-to-play which occurred.
"Your sources are telling you that
witnesses were said to be willing to testify that this was a quid pro
quo--in other words that she sold access to her office?" Sean asked.
"That's my understanding from my sourcing," Klein responded.
- Klein also claims
to have spoken to three State Department employees that worked closely
with Hillary Clinton while she was Secretary of State, who personally
witnessed her dealing with State Department business.
"They actually overheard her talking on
the phone to a donor," Klein explained. If true, Clinton's actions would
be a violation of a "memorandum of understanding"
she signed prior to taking office, in which she promised to the Obama
administration that she would not to engage in business connected to the
foundation.
"I'm not predicting this is going to happen," Klein concluded. "All
I'm saying is that the heat is on right now. Whether or not it's going
to flame into a real serious law case, who knows. Will Preet Bharara do
the right thing? I hope so."Check out Sean's interview with bestselling author Ed Klein:
