FBI says it won’t recommend charges over Clinton emails
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe FBI won’t recommend criminal charges against Hillary Clinton for her use of a private email server while secretary of state, agency Director James Comey says, lifting a major legal threat to her presidential campaign.
Comey says that although the investigation found “extremely careless” behavior by Clinton and her staff in their handling of sensitive information, the FBI had concluded that “no charges are appropriate.” He says the agency believed that “no reasonable prosecutor would bring such a case.”
The announcement comes three days after the FBI interviewed Clinton for hours in a final step of its yearlong investigation into the possible mishandling of classified information.
