WASHINGTON (Sputnik) — During his campaign in October, Trump said he would appoint a special prosecutor to probe Clinton’s use of the private server during her time at the US Department of State.
"I think when the President-elect, who's also the head of your party, tells you before he's even inaugurated that he doesn't wish to pursue these charges, it sends a very strong message," Conway said in an interview with MSNBC.
In late October, the FBI reopened the investigation into Clinton's private email server, however, eight days later, the FBI director said he would stand by his July decision not to recommend criminal charges.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation conducted a criminal probe whether Clinton intended to break US law by using a private server and email account. Director Comey previously concluded that Clinton’s use of a home-based email server for official business as the United States’ top diplomat was "extremely careless," but he did not recommend criminal charges against her.
Clinton had erased 33,000 of her emails after receiving a subpoena to submit them, while her closest associates destroyed at least 13 blackberry and related devices used to communicate.
