FBI gives Congress documents related to its investigation of Hillary Clinton's emails

WASHINGTON _ The FBI has provided Congress with classified documents related to its investigation of Hillary Clinton's emails, as Republican lawmakers probe why prosecutors chose not to pursue a case against her.

Congressional staff were poring over the papers Tuesday but it was unclear whether the documents would be made public. The cache included notes on Clinton's interview with investigators and witness interviews.

"The FBI has turned over a number of documents related to their investigation of former Secretary Clinton's use of a personal email server," said a spokesperson for the House Oversight and Government Affairs Committee led by Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah).

"Committee staff is currently reviewing the information that is classified secret. There are no further details."

Democrats on the committee blasted the review as a partisan attempt by Republicans to revive the email scandal after the Department of Justice declined to pursue charges.
