The FBI interviewed US Presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton for three and a half hours at the FBI headquarters in Washington on Saturday morning, her campaign said.
While she was Obama’s secretary of state, Clinton exclusively used a private email server for her government and personal emails, rather than the State Department’s email system.
Clinton says in an interview with NBC’s “Meet the Press” that she is pleased to have the opportunity to assist the department bringing its review to a conclusion.
“The bottom line for me is I respect the professionalism and integrity of the officials at the Department of Justice handling this process”, she said.
His use of the word “voluntary” indicates that Clinton was not subpoenaed for the interview.
FBI director James Comey said in a testimony to Congress in March that he felt the pressure to complete the investigation quickly.

Speaking at a summit in Colorado on Friday, Lynch insisted that career agents and investigators with the Department of Justice are acting independently, and that their probe predates her tenure as attorney general.
Schiff said he believes Clinton and Lynch when they say it was a “chance encounter” and that they didn’t discuss the investigation at all, and that he trusts Lynch to take the FBI’s recommendations in the case of Hillary Clinton’s private email server.
She stopped short of announcing she would fully remove herself from the case, however, saying that would entail not being briefed on what the findings are and what the actions going forward would be.
Lynch has acknowledged that the tarmac meeting with Bill Clinton last Monday “cast a shadow” over the investigation into his wife’s use of emails just months before the November general election.
Donald Trump has used the email scandal as proof Ms Clinton is unfit for the White House.
The FBI is investigating the issue over a potential mishandling of sensitive information.
But she continued to argue she committed no crime with the private server, and did not send any information that was classified at the time.
The former top U.S. diplomat said she learned of the meeting “in the news”. What she did was wrong!

Comey said “It is possible” that American enemies gained access to Clinton’s emails.
