A.G. Lynch Won’t Comment on the Ongoing Investigation of Hillary Clinton

SMITH: “One more question about the FBI. And that is, to your knowledge, has the president or any White House staff, or you, or any of your staff attempted to influence the FBI’s investigation of former Secretary Clinton?”

LYNCH: “No, sir.”

SMITH: “OK. Do you have any idea when that investigation will be completed?”

LYNCH: “Well, I’m not able to comment on the status of that matter. And we typically do not comment. And also, it’s impossible to predict when any matter will be concluded. So, I’m not able to give you information on that.”

SMITH: “Right. And I’m not asking for a comment on the contents of the investigation, just an idea when it might be finished, or have you heard when it might be finished?”

LYNCH: “Sir, again, I’m not able to comment on the timing of the conclusion of any matter.”

SMITH: “OK. Thank you. Thank you, Mr. chairman.”

LYNCH: “Thank you, sir.”
