More from the Washington Examiner:

The State Department said Friday that the FBI has asked the department to halt its internal investigation into 22 emails sent or received by Hillary Clinton while she led the department, emails that are now deemed to contain “top secret” information.

State had been reviewing whether the information was deemed top secret at the time it was sent, or whether the information only became top secret later. But State Department spokesman Elizabeth Trudeau said the FBI asked the department to stop so as not to interfere with the FBI’s own investigation.

…

“Of course, we do not want our internal review to complicate or impede the process of their ongoing law enforcement investigation,” she added. “Therefore, the State Department at this time is not moving forward with our internal review.”
