Loretta Lynch, the U.S. Attorney General, announced on Wednesday, July 6, that she accepts the FBI's recommendation regarding the investigation into Hillary Clinton's personal email case, and no charges will be filed against Mrs. Clinton, the potential Democratic Party nominee for the U.S. presidential election. According to Reuters, Loretta Lynch stated in this announcement: "I received the unanimous recommendation from the FBI and accepted it. The year-long investigation case is closed, and no charges will be filed against any individuals involved in this case." The U.S. Attorney General said she met on Wednesday with the FBI Director and those involved in the investigation of Hillary Clinton's case. James Comey, the FBI Director, stated the previous day that the FBI does not recommend charges against Hillary Clinton for using a personal email for her official duties. The FBI Director noted that Mrs. Clinton was "extremely careless" in her use of a personal email and server during her tenure as Secretary of State. Comey added that investigators found no evidence of "intentional misconduct" by Hillary Clinton and her aides after extensive investigations regarding the use of email and personal server. However, he emphasized that after reviewing similar circumstances, the FBI believes that "no reasonable prosecutor would bring charges in this case." The U.S. Attorney General had previously stated that she accepts the FBI Director's recommendation. Hillary Clinton's campaign welcomed the FBI Director's statements. Donald Trump, the potential Republican presidential nominee, harshly criticized the FBI Director's decision, stating that the system is corrupt. Mr. Trump tweeted: "Very, very unfair! As usual, a wrong judgment. The FBI Director said Hillary Clinton endangered our national security, but there are no charges. Incredible!" Paul Ryan, the Speaker of the House of Representatives and the highest-ranking Republican, also criticized Hillary Clinton for her negligence and carelessness regarding the use of email and personal server. Paul Ryan stated: "Based on the FBI Director's statements, the law has been violated." The FBI has conducted investigations over the past year regarding Hillary Clinton's use of personal email during her tenure as Secretary of State from 2009 to 2014. Mrs. Clinton had previously acknowledged that using a personal email system was a mistake but emphasized that she did not use her personal email to send or receive any classified documents during that time.
