Lawmakers on Capitol Hill are expected to receive notes from Hillary Clinton's interview with the FBI about her use of private email servers as secretary of state, CBS News has confirmed.
The FBI will turn over the notes to Congress in the next few days, and it could happen as early as Monday, an official told CBS. This comes after several Republicans requested the testimony.
CNN first reported that the FBI would hand over the notes.
The Democratic presidential nominee met with the FBI for a voluntary interview in early July, which was part of the federal investigation into her use of private email servers. The meeting lasted about three-and-a-half-hours and took place at FBI headquarters in Washington, D.C.
FBI Director James Comey announced only a few days later that it was recommending to the Justice Department that no charges should be brought against Clinton in the case.
"Our judgment is that no reasonable prosecutor would bring such a case," Comey said at the time. "No charges are appropriate in this case."
Comey also said that Clinton was "extremely careless" in her handling of sensitive, highly classified information.
He told Congress earlier this summer that the agency does not have a complete transcript of the interview, CNN's report notes.
Congress is currently on its seven-week recess.
