FBI chief faces grilling over Hillary Clinton decision

Angry House Republicans plan to investigate FBI director James Comey’s decision against pressing criminal charges for Hillary Clinton over her handling of classified emails.

House speaker Paul Ryan said Comey’s decision defies explanation and leaves many questions unanswered. The oversight and government reform committee called Comey to testify today, and the judiciary panel announced that attorney general Loretta Lynch would appear next week.

“The FBI should give us all of their findings,” Ryan said, claiming Clinton is “competing for commander-in-chief here, so I think there’s a whole accounting that needs to happen”.
