(Bloomberg) -- U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch said Wednesday that Hillary Clinton won't be charged criminally for her use of personal e-mail while secretary of state, accepting a recommendation from the FBI after a more than year-long investigation.
Lynch said in a statement that she met Wednesday with Federal Bureau of Investigation Director James Comey to discuss the bureau's findings. She said the federal probe into Clinton's handling of sensitive communications while serving as the nation's top diplomat will end.
“I received and accepted their unanimous recommendation that the thorough, year-long investigation be closed and that no charges be brought against any individuals within the scope of the investigation,” Lynch said. Comey announced the bureau's findings on Tuesday.
