Hillary interviewed by FBI about State department emails: US media

July 02, 2016 22:44

Democratic White House hopeful Hillary Clinton was quizzed today by the FBI about her use of personal email while serving as secretary of state, a campaign spokesman said.

"Secretary Clinton gave a voluntary interview this morning about her email arrangements while she was secretary" of state, spokesman Nick Merrill 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 not comment further on her interview."

The bureau's interview with the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee is believed to be the final step in its investigation into the potential mishandling of classified information on Clinton's private email server.

Hundreds of now-classified documents -- some of them "Top Secret" -- were sent and received through Clinton's private server, which she housed at her New York residence during her tenure at the State Department.

FBI investigators have already interviewed several Clinton aides, including her former chief of staff Cheryl Mills and her deputy chief of staff, Huma Abedin. Investigators have also interviewed Bryan Pagliano, the former State Department information technology specialist who maintained Clinton's server.
