White House insists endorsement won’t influence Hillary Clinton email probe

By Dave Boyer and S.A. Miller  - Thursday, June 9, 2016

 

The White House insisted Thursday that President Obama’s endorsement of Hillary Clinton, including gushing praise for her high “character,” won’t influence the Justice Department’s criminal investigation into her secret email system from her time as secretary of state.

 

Hours after he endorsed Mrs. Clinton for president and praised her for “making history” as the first female major-party nominee, Mr. Obama met privately in the Oval Office with Attorney General Loretta Lynch.

 

That meeting raised more questions about political pressure on federal prosecutors to go easy on Mrs. Clinton.
