Clinton questioned by FBI as part of email probe [View all]

Source: CNN

Washington (CNN)Hillary Clinton met with the FBI on Saturday as part of the investigation into her use of a private email server while leading the State Department, her campaign said.

"Secretary Clinton gave a voluntary interview this morning about her email arrangements while she was secretary," Clinton 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."

An aide said the interview occurred at FBI headquarters in Washington, D.C., Saturday morning and lasted approximately three and a half hours.

The news of FBI agents interviewing the former secretary of state will heighten anxiety among Democrats that their nominee could be indicted before November and serve as a reminder of Clinton's negatives to voters already skeptical of her trustworthiness.

Sorry for flopping back and forth between CNN and AP, but CNN now has the most details of the interview this morning.

They're speculating that the investigation should be wrapped up very shortly - Clinton was expected to be the last to be interviewed. That has now happened.
