FBI releases report on its investigation into Clinton's use of private email server
WASHINGTON _ The FBI on Friday released a summary report of its probe into Hillary Clinton's use of a private email server and her handling of classified materials.
The report, which had previously been shared with Congress, includes notes of the July 2 FBI interview of Clinton. Many parts of the report are redacted.
FBI Director James B. Comey on July 5 delivered a stinging public rebuke of Clinton even as he sought to explain why he and top bureau officials did not believe she should face criminal prosecution because there was no evidence she knowingly discussed classified information over the system.
His long-anticipated recommendation to the Justice Department removed the most serious threat hanging over Clinton's presidential campaign _ the possibility of a criminal indictment.
"Although we did not find clear evidence that Secretary Clinton or her colleagues intended to violate laws governing the handling of classified information, there is evidence that they were extremely careless in their handling of very sensitive, highly classified information," Comey told reporters at FBI headquarters.
