Fact Check: Rep. Duffy says Hillary Clinton lied to the FBI

LIE: Rep. Sean Duffy implied Hillary Clinton lied to the FBI. “REP. SEAN DUFFY: No private servers in the basement. RACHEL CAMPOS-DUFFY: And no lying. DUFFY: Especially to the FBI.”

THE TRUTH: “FBI Director James Comey told lawmakers on Thursday that Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton did not lie to the FBI about her handling of emails as secretary of state and did not break the law.” “FBI Director James Comey told lawmakers on Thursday that Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton did not lie to the FBI about her handling of emails as secretary of state and did not break the law. Comey told a Republican-led oversight panel in the U.S. House of Representatives that no reasonable prosecutor would charge Clinton with a crime over her use of private email servers while she was secretary of state, some of which were used to transmit classified information.” [Reuters, 7/7/16]
