Huma Abedin interviewed in Clinton email case “Report”

Huma Abedin has been interviewed by the FBI, CNN reports. Other aides to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton have been contacted by the FBI as well.

The inquiry is focused on the security of Clinton’s server and her handling of classified information, and such interviews are reportedly routine in such an investigation.

Federal investigators “have so far found scant evidence that the leading Democratic presidential candidate intended to break classification rules,” The Washington Post reports, and “the involvement of the U.S. Attorney’s Office is not indicative that charges are imminent or even likely. One official said prosecutors are wrestling with the question of whether Clinton intended to violate the rules, and so far, the evidence seemed to indicate she did not.” The investigation is not over, however, and there is no deadline for its completion.

Clinton campaign spokesman Brian Fallon downplayed the leaks. “From the start, Hillary Clinton has offered to answer any questions that would help the Justice Department complete its review, and we hope and expect that anyone else who is asked would do the same,” he said in a statement. “We are confident the review will conclude that nothing inappropriate took place.”
