FBI releases interviews with Clinton aides


By Katie Bo Williams - 09-23-16 18:42 PM EDT

The FBI on Friday afternoon released almost 200 pages of summaries of interviews done during its investigation into Hillary Clinton's private email server, including those with top aides Huma Abedin, Cheryl Mills and Jake Sullivan.

The interview for Justin Cooper, a former senior adviser to President Bill Clinton, is also included. Cooper registered the original clintonemail.com domain.

In many of the documents, the name of the interviewee has been redacted. Several of the interviews with blocked-out names were with technicians at the Colorado-based firm that managed Clinton's server.

The documents contain several previously unknown details.

According to the notes, the engineer who deleted an archive of Clinton's old emails using a software known as BleachBit told investigators that he did so "of his own accord based on his normal practices as an engineer."

BleachBit is designed to prevent recovery of deleted items.

The deletion of the archive occurred after the Benghazi Committee had issued a subpoena for documents related to the 2012 attack on the Libyan outpost. The deleted files have drawn fire from Republicans who suspect Clinton may have had a role in the destruction of the documents.
