The Federal Bureau of Investigation sent Congress notes Tuesday from the three-hour interview relating to her e-mail server that they conducted with former Sec. of State Hillary Clinton, The Hill reported.
Republicans requested the notes, which are classified as secret and presumed to not be released to the public.
“The FBI has turned over a ‘number of documents’ related to their investigation of former Secretary Clinton’s use of a personal email server,” a spokesperson for the House Oversight Committee, which requested the summary, said in a statement.
Chairmen of the House Oversight and Judiciary Committees set up an outline Monday showing how they believe Clinton perjured herself during her testimony to Congress regarding classified information she handled. A joint letter to the FBI from both chairs stated in part:
“During a House Select Committee on Benghazi hearing on October 22, 2015, Secretary Clinton testified with respect to (1) whether she sent or received emails that were marked classified at the time; (2) whether her attorneys reviewed each of the emails on her personal email system; (3) whether there was one, or more servers that stored work-related emails during her time as Secretary of State; and (4) whether she provided all her work-related emails to the Department of State.”
“Although there may be other aspects of Secretary Clinton’s sworn testimony that are at odds with the FBI’s findings, her testimony in those four areas bears specific scrutiny in light of the facts and evidence FBI Director James Comey described in his public statement on July 5, 2016 and in testimony before the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform on July 7, 2016.”
Sen. Chuck Grassley, chairman of the Judiciary Committee, twice wrote to the FBI director regarding the agency’s investigation of then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server, the Senator’s office said in a statement. Upon receiving the summaries from the investigation, Grassley made the following comment on the materials he received:
“The FBI sent interview summaries and supporting materials. On initial review, it seems that much of the material given to the Senate today, other than copies of the large number of emails on Secretary Clinton’s server containing classified information, is marked ‘unclassified/for official use.’ The FBI should make as much of the material available as possible. The public’s business ought to be public, with few exceptions. The people’s interest would be served in seeing the documents that are unclassified. The FBI has made public statements in describing its handling of the case, so sharing documents in support of those statements wherever appropriate would make sense. Right now, the public is at a disadvantage and has only part of the story.”
