Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign could potentially be derailed in weeks, as the FBI is expected to finish its investigation into her use of a private email system soon, according to a new report.
Al Jazeera America reports the FBI has finished looking through Clinton's emails and server. All that's left are interviews with Clinton and some of her aides. The news outlet, according to a video of the report
posted on Mediaite, said Clinton is expected to speak with the FBI within days about her email setup during her time as Secretary of State (2009-2013) under President Barack Obama.
David Shuster said on Al Jazeera Wednesday the FBI is about to sit down with Clinton, the leading Democrat in the race for the White House. Also expected to be interviewed about their roles in the case are Clinton aide Philippe Reines and Clinton's former chief of staff Cheryl Mills.
After the interviews, the FBI will make a recommendation to Attorney General Loretta Lynch about whether or not to charge Clinton or anyone else with a crime. That decision is expected within weeks, Shuster said.
A source
told Fox News FBI Director James Comey and Lynch have been meeting on a frequent basis about the Clinton email case because of its sensitive nature.
"In a case like this you get one shot at the queen," the source told Fox. "The pressures are enormous on the agents, as the case has to be airtight and perfect."
The final outcome of the case has the potential to dramatically alter the 2016 race for the presidency. Clinton's only opponent on the left is Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders. Clinton has a strong lead in delegate votes, 1712-1011, with 22 primaries and caucuses remaining.
There have been
a reported 147 FBI agents working on the Clinton case, and the investigation has found 2,115 emails on her private server contained classified information.
