WASHINGTON
(Reuters) - The Federal Bureau of Investigation is likely to interview
Hillary Clinton in the next few weeks about her use of a private email
server while she was U.S. secretary of state and have already
interviewed some of her aides, CNN reported on Thursday.
The
nine-month investigation into whether laws were broken as a result of
the server kept in her New York home has overshadowed Clinton's campaign
to become the Democratic Party's candidate in November's presidential
election.
With
only a few states left to vote in primary elections, she retains a
commanding lead over her rival, U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont.
More
than 2,000 emails sent and received by Clinton while working as
President Barack Obama's top diplomat include classified information,
which the government bans from being handled outside secure,
government-controlled channels.
Clinton
has said she did not send or receive any information that was marked as
classified and has accused the State Department and other government
agencies of "over-classifying" her emails after a judge ordered them
released to the public. She has said she expects to be exonerated by the
FBI, a point her campaign staff echoed on Thursday.
"We are confident the review will conclude that nothing inappropriate took place," the campaign told CNN.
