Washington: In a fresh blow to Hillary Clinton, the FBI has released redacted notes on its probe of her haphazard use of a private email server as US secretary of state, giving new ammunition to rival Donald Trump, who accused her of jeopardising national security.
According to the 58-page document, Clinton told the FBI as many as 39 times that she did not “recall” or remember key elements of the training or classified information process. She also seemed repeatedly unable to recall information about her use of the private server.
“Clinton said she received no instructions or direction regarding the preservation or production of records from State during the transition out of her role as secretary of state in 2013,” read the FBI’s notes from its July interview with Clinton.
The FBI also said Clinton (68) may have used 13 mobile devices associated with her two known phone numbers that were potentially used to send emails.
Trump, who is trailing Clinton, immediately latched on to the notes to accuse Clinton of compromising America's national security.
