FBI says it has not contacted Clinton about email investigation

The Federal Bureau of Investigation said this week that it had not contacted Hillary Clinton about her use of a private email account while she was secretary of state.

The revelation came in response to a Freedom of Information Act request by Jason Leopold of VICE News, who is seeking information held by the bureau pertaining to the investigation. The FBI “does not have any documents showing that the bureau communicated with Clinton or her aides nor does the FBI have any records about disclosures to the media,” the agency told Leopold in a Friday court filing.
