According to the Post, the public integrity unit of the Justice Department said it did not have enough evidence to move forward with the case.

The Clinton Foundation reportedly was never contacted by the FBI.

“We are not aware of any investigation into the Foundation by the Department of Justice, Federal Bureau of Investigation, or any United States Attorney’s Office and we have not received a subpoena from any of those agencies," a Clinton official told the Post.

The newspaper reported the FBI's New York field office was looking into allegations including corruption and conflict of interest.

The Clinton Foundation has come under fire throughout the Democratic nominee's presidential campaign regarding controversies over donations.
