US Secretary of State John Kerry says neither he nor his department had been contacted by the FBI over its renewed investigation into his predecessor Hillary Clinton’s emails.
“No, I haven’t been notified of anything, no, I haven’t been requested of anything, no, I’m not aware of the department being requested,” he says during a visit to Tipperary in southern Ireland.

Kerry said it would be up to the US Department of Justice and the FBI to respond to further questions about the probe, which has rocked the race for the White House in its final stretch.
“By the way, obviously as an American citizen — not to mention as a former nominee of the party — there’s a lot I’d love to say about what has been going on. But I can’t and I’m just going to remain out of this,” he says.
