FBI director James Comey says it won’t recommend criminal charges against Hillary Clinton for using private email server while secretary of stateWashington: The FBI won’t recommend criminal charges against Hillary Clinton for her use of a private email server while secretary of state, agency director James Comey said Tuesday, lifting a major legal threat to her presidential campaign. Comey’s decision almost certainly brings the legal part of the issue to a close and removes the threat of criminal charges. Clnton’s personal email server, which she relied on exclusively for government and personal business, has dogged her campaign since The Associated Press revealed its existence in March 2015. And it probably won’t stop Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, who has called for criminal charges, from continuing to make the server a campaign issue. He said Clinton and her aides were “extremely careless” and added that it was possible that people hostile to the US had gained access to her personal email account.
