flag FBI and DOJ officials rejected criminal probe into Clinton campaign's concealed Fusion GPS payments, despite evidence, sparking oversight concerns.

flag Senator Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, revealed internal FBI and Justice Department records showing senior officials declined to pursue a criminal investigation into the Hillary Clinton campaign and DNC over alleged campaign finance violations, despite evidence of efforts to conceal payments to Fusion GPS. flag The documents indicate FBI agents identified a "fact-pattern" supporting an inquiry into the Steele dossier funding, but Justice Department officials, including Richard Pilger and J.P. Cooney, opted not to authorize prosecution. flag Grassley cited internal communications raising concerns about political influence in federal law enforcement decisions. flag The revelations come amid ongoing scrutiny over inconsistent enforcement of campaign finance laws, particularly in investigations involving Republicans, and follow a 2022 FEC fine against the Clinton campaign and DNC for similar violations. flag Grassley praised Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel for cooperation and vowed to continue his oversight efforts.
