Fact Check: Inspecting claim Obama pressured Comey, Lynch to 'cover up' Clinton email probe (Snopes)

Claim:

The U.S. Department of Justice released a declassified document in July 2025 that confirmed former U.S. President Barack Obama pressured then-Attorney General Loretta Lynch and then-FBI Director James Comey to cover up ​​the 2016 Hillary Clinton email investigation.

Rating:

False

Context:

While the DOJ did release a newly declassified internal review of the FBIs investigation of then-presidential candidate Clinton's handling of emails while serving as secretary of state, the claim shared online about Obama allegedly pressuring Lynch and Comey appeared out of context. The report did include this claim — but in a section specifically explaining how the FBI concluded that it lacked credibility and did not warrant further investigation.

1. For a short period of time relative to US History

It is no longer the US Department of Justice, it is the Trump Department of Lies for his personal benefit and escape from Justice.

This is bottom line CONSERVATIVE VALUES. Many of your neighbors have them. They care nothing of facts and Justice. This is what they voted for.
