Clinton interviewed by FBI about State Dept emails
The interview lasted three and a half hours, her campaign said, and came at the end of a week in which the attorney general, Loretta Lynch, expressed her regret over a private meeting with Bill Clinton which critics used to cast doubt on her impartiality in the email issue. “Secretary Clinton gave a voluntary interview this morning about her email arrangements while she was secretary,” Nick Merrill, a spokesman for the Clinton campaign, said in a statement. “She is pleased to have had the opportunity to assist the Department of Justice in bringing this review to a conclusion. Out of respect for the investigative process, she will **t comment further on her interview.” The interview was expected and does **t mean prosecutions will follow. However, Clinton’s campaign to succeed Barack Obama in the White House has been dogged by revelations that she used a private email server while serving as America’s most senior diplomat. More than 30,000 such emails were released in tranches between May 2015 and February 2016. Among the communications was information later marked as classified by government officials, although Clinton’s campaign has said the material was **t classified at the time it was exchanged. The matter was referred to the justice department, which opened an investigation in July 2015. In May of this year, a State department audit found that the use of the private server had violated department rules. Violations cited in the audit included the use of mobile devices for official business without checking if they were secure. Clinton’s meeting with the FBI on Saturday signalled that the investigation could be nearing its final stages. She is set to formally accept her party’s **mination for president later this month, at the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia. Republicans have made the issue a cornerstone of their presidential campaign. The presumptive GOP **minee, Donald Trump, has said he would pursue a criminal indictment of Clinton if elected president. On Saturday, before news of Clinton’s interview broke, he tweeted a picture declaring Clinton “Most Corrupt Candidate Ever!” After the release of the State department audit, House speaker Paul Ryan said: “** public official is above the law. Secretary Clinton’s actions were at best negligent and at worst harmful to our national security.” Polling has found Americans split over Clinton’s email practices. Republicans are overwhelmingly more likely than Democrats to view the behavior as unethical, but the email controversy has taken a toll more broadly on whether voters view Clinton as trustworthy. Lynch said on Friday she would accept whatever recommendations were put forward by the FBI and career prosecutors upon the conclusion of the case. Lynch described her encounter with Bill Clinton, at an airport in Phoenix, as a purely social discussion. أكثر... ??????? ??????: Clinton interviewed by FBI about State Dept emails || ??????: ahlam1399 || ??????: اسم منتداك
