A Department of Justice official with personal and professional ties to Hillary Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta fed the campaign information about the FBI’s investigation into the Democratic presidential candidate’s e-mails, according to a new Wikileaks release.

On May 19, 2015, assistant attorney general for legislative affairs Peter Kadzik told Podesta in an e-mail, “There is a HJC oversight hearing today where the head of our Civil Division will testify. Likely to get questions on State Department emails. Another filing in the FOIA case went in last night or will go in this am that indicates it will be awhile (2016) before the State Department posts the emails.”

Entitled “Heads up,” the e-mail is just one piece of evidence showing a close relationship between the two men. Kadzik defended Podesta during the Monica Lewinsky scandal during the late 1990s that engulfed the Bill Clinton presidency, according to The Daily Caller, and Kadzik lobbied Podesta to pardon tax evader Marc Rich. Rich, who had gone to Switzerland to avoid prosecution over illegal moneymaking deals with the leaders of terrorist nations, was eventually pardoned by Clinton.

The relationship between Podesta and Kadzik continues to this day; the two men agreed to meet for dinner in January 2016, according to Wikileaks, and Kadzik’s son asked Podesta for a job with the Clinton campaign in early May 2015. One day after Hillary Clinton testified to Congress about the death of a U.S. ambassador in Benghazi, Libya in October of last year, Podesta and Kadzik joined friends for dinner.

Podesta also praised Kadzik as the man who “kept me out of jail” in the Lewinsky scandal, though it is not known whether Podesta was joking.

Kadzik has also been in the press recently for attempting to reassure Democrats that the FBI’s new investigation into Clinton’s e-mails would be done ethically and quickly:

“We assure you that the Department will continue to work closely with the FBI and together, dedicate all necessary resource and take appropriate steps as expeditiously as possible,” Kadzik wrote.

Former prosecutor and sitting Republican Representative Trey Gowdy (R-SC), a major Capitol Hill critic of Hillary Clinton, called Kadzik a “messenger” on Tuesday morning. Gowdy described Kadzik as “not a decision maker” in how the FBI will conduct its current investigation.

The DOJ did not immediately respond to a request for comment about Kadzik’s connections to the Clinton campaign.
