WASHINGTON - Federal authorities are actively investigating allegations of corruption related to the Clinton Foundation, the charity of Bill and Hillary Clinton, according to a US official briefed on the matter.
The FBI and federal prosecutors are looking into whether donors to the foundation were improperly promised policy favors or special access to Hillary Clinton while she was secretary of state in exchange for donations to the charity's coffers, as well as whether tax-exempt funds were misused, the official said.

Nick Merrill, a spokesman for Hillary Clinton, denied there was merit to any of the allegations when contacted by CNN.
"Let's call this what it is: A sham. This is a philanthropy that does life-changing work, which Republicans have tried to turn into a political football," Merrill said. "It began with a long-debunked project spearheaded by Steve Bannon during the presidential campaign. It continues with (Attorney General) Jeff Sessions doing Trump's bidding by heeding his calls to meddle with a department that is supposed to function independently."
