The voluntary meeting lasted about three-and-a-half hours and was conducted at FBI headquarters in Washington, D.C., according to the Clinton campaign.
Clinton “is pleased to have had the opportunity to assist the Department of Justice in bringing this review to a conclusion” campaign spokesman Nick Merrill said in a statement. He also said Clinton, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, would have no further comment about the interview.
