Senate Republicans, led by Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA), are reopened the investigation into Hillary Clinton’s private email server, citing newly declassified evidence that the FBI ignored critical material, including thumb drives loaded with sensitive government data.
Grassley’s announcement comes on the heels of a 35-page annex from the Justice Department Inspector General’s 2018 report, which reveals that top Obama-era FBI officials—Comey, McCabe, and Strzok among them—failed to follow up on evidence during the original Clinton probe.
“Justice is coming,” Grassley said, “and this time, nothing will be swept under the rug.”
What the Declassified Annex Shows
The annex confirms that the FBI obtained thumb drives from a source during the Clinton investigation that contained:
Highly classified information exfiltrated from U.S. agencies, including the Department of State
Emails linked to President Barack Obama
Potential congressional communications
According to the report, the thumb drives were never reviewed, despite internal FBI recommendations urging immediate analysis for potential foreign intelligence risks.
