Hillary Clinton isn’t done with email probes yet
Although the FBI has cleared Hillary Clinton of criminal wrongdoing for her “extremely careless” treatment of classified information, the inquiries into her private email use are far from over.
Members of the House Judiciary Committee will grill Attorney General Loretta Lynch Tuesday about her decision to close the Clinton email investigation without filing charges against anyone involved. The chairman of that committee, Rep. Bob Goodlatte, led 200 House Republicans in a push Monday for the Justice Department to reveal more details about how it reached the conclusion that Clinton should not be charged for her conduct.
Congressional Republicans remain committed to stripping the former secretary of state of her access to sensitive materials ahead of the classified briefings that will begin for both presidential nominees after their respective conventions.
Beyond the political hurdles that lie ahead for Clinton and her aides, the presumptive Democratic nominee faces three additional probes related to her personal email practices that could further expose her conduct as secretary of state to scrutiny.
