Clinton has been under FBI investigation since past year because of a private email server she used for government emails during her time as us secretary of state.

Donald Trump, the Republican presumptive presidential nominee, has repeatedly said the email issue raises questions over Ms Clinton’s fitness for office, calling her “Crooked Hillary”. “They did not discuss the Department of Justice’s review”.
“Attorney General Lynch’s meeting with President Clinton creates the appearance of a violation of law, ethical standards and good judgment”, the group said in a statement.
The FBI interviewed her for 3 1/2 hours Saturday about her use of a private email server while she was secretary of state.
Nevertheless, there have been various hints along the way which could tell us the direction in which the FBI investigation is headed, and what it could mean to Hillary Clinton and her chances in the presidential race.
Yesterday’s interview came only weeks before she is due to formally accept her party’s presidential nomination at the Democratic national convention.
“It was something I had offered to do since last August”, Clinton told MSNBC in a phone interview Saturday evening. “What she did was wrong!” As Snopes noted in its report, critics hoping that an indictment would automatically disqualify Hillary Clinton from the presidential race are gravely mistaken, but such a recommendation by the Federal Bureau of Investigation would nevertheless certainly create a political storm which could engulf Clinton. Bill Clinton nominated Lynch as USA attorney for the Eastern District of NY in 1999. And the candidate herself acknowledged that she has “work to do” to earn the trust of voters in her likely general election matchup against Republican Donald Trump, who suffers from a public trust deficit of a different sort.
Clinton has struggled with the allegations of mishandling “classified” information.
Hillary Clinton’s bid for becoming the president of the United States of American has suffered a major jolt following the FBI’s decision to question her on the usage of the private e-mail server while she was still the leader of the state department.
“It’s already been shown that she sent information that turned out to be top secret during her time as Secretary of State from a private and poorly protected email server”. Clinton declined to talk to the inspector general, but the audit reported that Clinton feared “the personal being accessible” if she used a government email account. That Clinton would approach Lynch while her Justice Department was investigating his wife’s actions, and that Lynch would speak to him, opened a new angle of criticism about the Clintons’ judgment and sense of entitlement.

The emails were routed through a server located in the basement of Clinton’s NY home during her tenure as the nation’s top diplomat.
