Loretta Lynch

FBI Director James Comey spent hours on the Hill. He explained the law, his agency's investigation and his reasoning at length.

Attorney General Loretta Lynch says she regrets that her impromptu meeting with Bill Clinton has "cast a shadow" on the investigation of Hillary Clinton's email use, but did not recuse herself.

"I think it's ... one of the big stories of this week, of this month, of this year," Donald Trump said of the meeting. A Democratic strategist said it was "foolish to create such optics."

It was a passing encounter on her government plane, but the whiff of impropriety while the Justice Department investigates Hillary Clinton's private email server could set Republicans howling.
