Loretta Lynch Says She’ll Accept FBI Guidance in Clinton Email Probe

HeadlineJul 01, 2016

In more news from the campaign trail, a meeting on the tarmac of a Phoenix airport between Attorney General Loretta Lynch and former President Bill Clinton has ignited a political firestorm, with Republicans saying the meeting compromises the Justice Department’s continued investigation into Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server while she was secretary of state. Lynch spoke out about the meeting.

Attorney General Loretta Lynch: “I did see the president at the Phoenix airport the other night. As I was landing, he was headed out. He did come over and say hello, and speak to my husband and myself, and talk about his grandchildren and his travels and things like that. So that was the extent of that.”

The New York Times reports Lynch is set to announce today that she will accept whatever recommendation prosecutors and the FBI director make about whether to bring charges against Hillary Clinton.
