Jim Jordan considers investigating Clintons in Durham Report.

House Judiciary Committee to Investigate Individuals Highlighted in Durham Report

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) stated on Sunday that the committee will thoroughly investigate individuals highlighted in the recently released Durham report, and that “nothing is off the table” in terms of potential probes. Jordan made the remarks in an interview on Fox News, in which he was asked about pursuing new investigations in light of special counsel John Durham’s report, which found that the FBI dropped four criminal investigations into former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton ahead of the 2016 presidential election.

The Durham Report

The long-awaited Durham report (pdf) showed that the FBI began investigating claims in late 2014 that two foreign governments were trying to make illegal donations to buy influence during Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign. Later, three different FBI field offices launched probes into the Clinton Foundation for “possible criminal activity.” Durham found that all the criminal investigations into the Clintons were later shut down by senior officials, with agents cited in the report as saying that the probes lingered as investigators were “tippy-toeing” around Clinton because they thought she would become the next president and they were “scared with the big name [Clinton].”

At the same time, Durham found that the probe into former President Donald Trump should have never been launched and faulted the FBI for using a different standard compared to the Clintons in weighing whether it should open an investigation into Trump.

Following the release of the Durham report, several Republicans called for the investigations into the Clintons to be reopened, while Jordan was asked during the Fox News interview whether he thought any individuals named in the report should be subject to a congressional inquiry.

“Are there people that were highlighted in the Durham investigation and the Durham report that we need to talk to on the Judiciary Committee? We’re going to give that a good, hard look,” Jordan told Fox News host Maria Bartiromo.

“Nothing is off the table,” he added, “because it is critical the American people understand how their government—their agencies—have been turned on them, the taxpayer, and we get all the facts out there.”

Jordan added that there would be talks with House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) on “where to proceed from here.”

Conclusion

The Epoch Times has reached out to the Clinton Foundation with a request for comment. Two Republicans who have announced their bids for the White House in 2024—Vivek Ramaswamy and Perry Johnson—both said they’re glad the Durham report came out and were sharply critical of the FBI for its handling of the Trump–Russia probe.
