FBI Completes Investigation Into Hillary Clinton's Personal Email Server

FBI Director James Comey said today that the agency is not recommending any charges be pressed against Hillary Clinton as a result of the investigation into her use of a private email server while serving as secretary of state.

"Although there is evidence of potential violations of the statutes regarding the handling of classified information, our judgment is that no reasonable prosecutor would bring such a case," Comey said.

"In looking back at our investigations into the mishandling or removal of classified information, we cannot find a case that would support bringing criminal charges on these facts."

He said that the FBI spent "a tremendous amount of work over the last year" and now the case is headed to the Department of Justice who have the ultimate say when it comes to any "prosecutive decision."

Comey noted that investigators read all of Clinton's 30,000 emails that were provided to the State Department in 2014.

The announcement comes three days after Clinton's spokesperson confirmed that she had a "voluntary" meeting with investigators over her use of a personal email server during her time as secretary of state.

A Clinton aide said the interview lasted about three-and-a-half hours at the FBI headquarters in Washington, D.C.
