FBI Director Testifies to Congress about Clinton Email Investigation
--------------------------------------------------------------------

FBI director James Comey testified before Congress Thursday over the
agency's decision to recommend no charges be brought against Democratic
Presidential Candidate Hillary Clinton over her use of multiple private
email servers while she was Secretary of State. South Carolina
representative Trey Gowdy pressed Comey on the discrepancies between
Hillary Clinton's statements that none of the emails had been marked
classified at the time they were sent, and the FBI's findings.

Trey Gowdy: "Secretary Clinton said there was nothing marked classified
on her e-mails, either sent or received. Was that true?"

James Comey: "That's not true. There were a small number of portion
markings on, I think, three of the documents."

Trey Gowdy: "Secretary Clinton said I did not email any classified
material to anyone on my e-mail. There is no classified material. Was
that true?"

James Comey: "No. There was classified material e-mailed."
