The FBI released documents Friday from its early July interview with Hillary Clinton on her use of a private email server in response to multiple requests by media organizations under the Freedom of Information Act. The interview had been meant to "fill the gaps" on why Clinton decided to use the private server, a senior law enforcement official said.

The documents contain sections that have been redacted to protect information. Clinton was not under oath during the three-hour interview, of which there is no transcript, just an 11-page summary. There are 58 pages of documents in all.
