What the evidence says 01 / RECORD

The FBI investigated Hillary Clinton's use of a private email server as secretary of state and, in a July 5, 2016 public statement by Director James Comey, recommended against criminal charges, concluding "no reasonable prosecutor would bring such a case." The Justice Department, then led by Attorney General Loretta Lynch, closed the case without charges the next day. Comey said the FBI found Clinton and her staff had been "extremely careless" in handling classified material, and that some devices were destroyed and emails deleted by aides using a hammer and a data-wiping tool, but investigators found no evidence Clinton or her staff intentionally destroyed evidence to obstruct justice or conceal wrongdoing. The claim that a formal legal review never occurred is inaccurate: a nearly year-long FBI investigation did take place, and it was reopened and reviewed again in October-November 2016 over newly discovered emails, again ending without charges. Characterizing the deletions as "clear" criminal destruction of evidence overstates what investigators concluded, since the FBI explicitly found no intent to obstruct.
