Jane Sanders, wife of Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders, said her husband's campaign does not intend to make an issue out of the FBI's probe into Hillary Clinton's emails.
"We want to let it go through without politicizing it," Sanders said in an interview on Fox Business Network's "Cavuto: Coast to Coast," according to
The Hill.
However, the campaign is eager for some result to come from the probe.
"I mean, it would be nice if the FBI moved it along," Sanders said.
FBI Director James Comey said to the
Niagara Gazette that the FBI is in no hurry to complete the probe.
"The urgency is to do it well and promptly," Comey told the Gazette. "And 'well' comes first," Comey said.
Sanders also discussed the future of her husband's campaign with Cavuto. She said it would be "insulting" for either Sanders or Clinton to put each other on short lists of possible vice presidents "at this moment."
Sanders is closely tied to her husband's campaign, according to a
New York Times report.
She has worked as his chief of staff and media consultant and "has his ear like no one else," Sanders' senior policy adviser David Weinstein said in the Times.
Sanders "speaks for Bernie," according to Weinstein, "and it's not just because she's his wife. She is his confidante," the Times reports.
