Federal prosecutors are preparing to interview some of Hillary Clinton’s closest aides as part of an investigation into her use of a private e-mail server, the Los Angeles Times reports.
That process, as well as a final review of the case, may still be weeks away at a time when she’s in the thick of the presidential primaries.
A federal prosecutor has alerted lawyers of the advisors that they soon will be questioned by FBI agents and prosecutors. Clinton also is expected to be interviewed.
Federal authorities are trying to determine whether Clinton mishandled classified materials by using a private e-mail server.
“The interviews are critical to understand the volume of information they have accumulated,” said James McJunkin, former head of the FBI’s Washington field office. “They are likely nearing the end of the investigation and the agents need to interview these people to put the information in context. They will then spend time aligning these statements with other information, emails, classified documents, etc., to determine whether there is a prosecutable case.”
