Hillary Clinton is scheduled to speak with the FBI about her homebrew email server


Presumptive Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton may have to take time off the campaign trail, perhaps this weekend, to speak with FBI investigators looking into the personal email server she used while secretary of state.
Several of Clinton's current and former aides, who also used the server, have already spoken with the agency, though it was previously unknown whether Clinton herself would be required to give testimony.
The FBI reportedly plans to finish its inquiry in advance of the major parties' nominating conventions at the end of July. Attorney General Loretta Lynch, under fire from both sides of the aisle following her recent private meeting with former President Bill Clinton, has said she will accept whatever the FBI concludes.
