During a Congressional hearing today, FBI Director James Comey refused to acknowledge whether the agency is still investigating the Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton Foundation.
“Did you look at the Clinton Foundation?” Chairman of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform Jason Chaffetz asked Comey.
“I’m not going to comment on the existence or non-existence of any other investigations.”
For a moment, Chaffetz sat silently, perhaps stunned.
“Was the Clinton Foundation tied into this investigation?” Chaffetz then asked.
“I’m not going to answer that,” Comey said.
PJ Media reported yesterday:
As Fox News reported back in January, the FBI expanded its investigation into Clinton’s emails to include the possible intersection of State Department business and the Clinton Foundation and whether public corruption laws were violated (as chronicled in Peter Schweizer’s book “Clinton Cash”).
Herridge noted that it wasn’t typical for Comey to not take questions after making a statement. “He seemed to anticipate the backlash,” she said.
Back in May, Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA), the former chairman of the Oversight Committee, said that he believed that the FBI wouldn’t finish the public corruption track of the investigation until after the election.
As national security expert KT McFarland wondered on Tuesday, “Isn’t there a second FBI investigation? … What’s the status of that?”

Comey won’t say.
