Congress receives FBI notes from Clinton interview

Congress 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, lawmakers said on Tuesday.
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 careless," FBI Director James Comey said his agents found no evidence of criminal wrongdoing by the Democratic presidential nominee.
In a statement, the FBI said the materials were provided to Congress consistent with the agency's "commitment to transparency" in the Clinton case. The material contains classified information and was provided "with the expectation it will not be disseminated or disclosed" without the FBI's agreement, the agency said on Tuesday.
