PRESIDENTIAL RACE | Congress receives FBI notes from Clinton interview

WASHINGTON (AP) — Congress has received FBI documents related to the agency's recently closed investigation of Hillary Clinton's use of a private email server during her tenure as secretary of state, according to lawmakers.

A spokeswoman for the Republican-led House oversight panel said staff is reviewing documents that are classified as secret.

Rep. Adam Schiff, the top Democrat on the intelligence committee, said in a statement that the panel received "FBI witness interview reports, including that of Secretary Clinton's interview, along with other materials from the FBI's now closed investigative file."

The FBI last month closed its yearlong probe into whether Clinton and her aides mishandled sensitive information that flowed through a private email server located in the basement of her New York home. Though he described Clinton's actions as "extremely carless," FBI Director James Comey said his agents found no evidence of criminal wrongdoing by the Democratic presidential nominee.

Furious the FBI didn't press charges against their political rival, House Republicans pressed the agency to release notes from its agents' July interview with Clinton. They claim the FBI notes, which are typically kept confidential after an investigation is closed, may show Clinton provided inconsistent answers to questions about her handling of emails containing classified information during testimony last year before the House Benghazi panel.

Republicans are also demanding that the Justice Department open a new investigation into whether Clinton lied to Congress.
