Less than a month after Illinois Review exposed what appeared to be a fraudulent political mailing targeting the Darren Bailey gubernatorial campaign, the Federal Bureau of Investigation has formally confirmed the matter has been routed for review.

In a December 3, 2025 letter, FBI Section Chief for Public Corruption and Civil Rights Alan Karr responded to a concerned citizen who contacted the Bureau after reading Illinois Review’s November 16 report.

The letter was addressed to FBI Director Kash Patel and acknowledged allegations involving “fraudulent political campaign mailings recently circulating in Illinois.”

Karr wrote that the complaint had been sent to the appropriate FBI field office for review and invited the submission of additional factual allegations through the FBI’s National Threat Operations Center.

That confirmation matters.

It shows the original Illinois Review reporting did not disappear into the void. It caught the attention of federal authorities and prompted formal review by the nation’s top law enforcement agency.

In plain terms, the matter is now under federal scrutiny.

Predictably, critics will claim this is a waste of taxpayer resources. But Illinois remains the corruption capital of America. From politicians sent to prison to decades of pay-to-play politics, Illinois voters have every reason to demand scrutiny when something looks wrong – especially in a Republican primary where election integrity is routinely promised but too often ignored.
