FBI Director James B. Comey told members of Congress Sunday that his agency is not recommending criminal charges related to Hillary Clinton’s handling of classified information, after agents reviewed a new batch of emails.
Comey wrote in a letter to lawmakers obtained by Roll Call that FBI investigators have “been working around the clock” to review the emails, which were discovered during an unrelated criminal investigation.

An oversight hearing of the FBI on Wednesday largely turned into a proxy fight over the Nov. 8 presidential election, with Director James B. Comey defending his agency.
“You can call us wrong but don’t call us weasels,” Comey told the House Judiciary Committee when asked about criticism of the FBI investigation into Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server when she was secretary of State. “We are not weasels, we are honest people.”

Two House committees sent a letter to the Department of Justice Monday laying out their case for why they believe Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton committed perjury during a hearing in Congress last year.
The letter to U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Channing Phillips from the Oversight and Government Reform and Judiciary committees provides four specific examples of times they believe Clinton lied under oath about her use of a private email server during her tenure as secretary of State. The letter said Clinton made several false statements during her testimony to the House Select Committee on Benghazi on October 22, 2015.
