Story highlights

(CNN)A representative for the charitable foundation set up by Bill and
Hillary Clinton confirmed they received a subpoena from the State
Department's Inspector General, but said they are not the focus of the
government watchdog's investigation.

The Washington Post first reported
<https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/clinton-foundation-received-subpoena-from-state-department-investigators/2016/02/11/ca5125b2-cce4-11e5-88ff-e2d1b4289c2f_story.html>on
the subpoena Thursday, saying it was sent to The Clinton Foundation last
fall, and sought "documents about the charity's projects that may have
required approval from the federal government during Hillary Clinton's term
as secretary of state," as well as records on Clinton aide Huma Abedin. The
Post report said there is no indication the Inspector General is looking at
Clinton herself.

A foundation representative would not comment on details of the subpoena.
The representative did say that the investigation has been narrowed since
the initial subpoena and that the Clinton Foundation was not the focus of
the Inspect General investigation.

A spokesperson for the Inspector General's office declined to comment.

The nature of the Inspector General's inquiry is unclear, but the
revelation is the latest in a series that have brought increased scrutiny
to Hillary Clinton's tenure as Secretary of State.
