The FBI formally confirmed that its investigation connected to Hillary
Clinton’s private email server remains ongoing in a letter released on
Monday.
The letter from FBI general counsel James Baker comes one day before the New Hampshire primary.
The message does not offer new details about the probe, which the
bureau has been reluctant to discuss. However, it represents the FBI’s
formal notification to the State Department that it is investigating the
issue.
Since last September, “in public statements and testimony, the Bureau
has acknowledged generally that it is working on matters related to
former Secretary Clinton’s use of a private e-mail server,” Baker wrote
to the State Department.
“The FBI has not, however, publicly acknowledged the specific focus, scope, or potential targets of any such proceedings.
“Thus … we remain unable [to] provide [details about the case]
without adversely affecting on-going law enforcement efforts,” he
concluded.
The letter was sent on Feb. 2 but released on Monday as part of an
ongoing lawsuit related to the disclosure of Clinton’s emails from
conservative watchdog Judicial Watch.
