- Comey’s email review announcement came 11 days before the election.
- Comey denies separate allegations over an alleged information disclosure.

## Summary

Hillary Clinton says she regrets not confronting James Comey more forcefully over his handling of the FBI’s 2016 review of emails linked to her private server. She argues that his letter to Congress breached precedent and Justice Department norms against election interference, and says she should have challenged him publicly.

Comey announced the review on 28 October 2016, less than two weeks before the election, then said on 6 November that it had not changed the FBI’s conclusion that Clinton should not face criminal charges. The article also reports that the Justice Department has filed criminal allegations against Comey over an alleged disclosure of national defence information, which he denies; his lawyers dispute the legal basis for the filing, and the investigation is ongoing.
