Attorney General Loretta Lynch faced questioning by the House Judiciary Committee on Tuesday as it inquired into her decision not to bring charges against Hillary Clinton. Lynch claimed the case, which looked into Clinton's use of a private email server while in office, was "handled like any other matter."
It was Lynch's first time before the House Judiciary Committee since it was announced that the Justice Department was closing its inquiry. Rep. Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.) slammed Lynch for accepting the recommendation of the FBI investigators, which he claimed left "more questions than answers," and said that outcome of the case "does not seem to be a responsible way to uphold your constitutionally sworn oath."
