Hearing Next Week on Clinton Foundation 'Pay-To-Play' Allegations Will Include 6,000 Pages of Whistleblower Documents

It's flown a little under the radar because every news outlet is focused on Paul Manafort and Michael Cohen and whether or not there was collusion with Russia or a campaign finance violation on the part of the Trump campaign, but there's a hearing scheduled next week into the ongoing investigation into the Clinton Foundation.

The submission also cites an interview its investigators conducted with Andrew Kessel that quotes the foundation's longtime chief financial officer as saying he was unable to stop former President Clinton from "Commingling" personal business and charitable activities inside the foundation and that he "Knows where all the bodies are buried."

"There is probable cause that the Clinton Foundation has run afoul of IRS rules regarding tax-exempt charitable organizations and has acted inconsistently with its stated purpose," MDA Analytics alleged in its submission.

"The Foundation should be investigated for all of the above-mentioned improprieties. The tax rules, codes, statutes and the rule of law should and must be applied in this case."

Rep. Mark Meadows, R-N.C., who heads up the conservative House Freedom Caucus and is the chairman of the House Oversight Subcommittee on Government Operations, said the hearing next week is to assess the status of the Foundation investigation.

According to Fox News, one of the primary reasons the situation is garnering more scrutiny is because of remarks Clinton Foundation CFO Andrew Kessel made to MDA Analytics in November 2016 regarding the behavior of Bill Clinton.

During the meeting, Kessel said that "One of the biggest problems was Clinton's commingling and use of business and donated funds and his personal expenses." A separate interview memo stated that Bill Clinton "Mixes and matches his personal business with that of the foundation. Many people within the foundation have tried to caution him about this but he does not listen, and there really is no talking to him."
