FBI offers second secret filing in Clinton email suit
The FBI is offering a federal judge a second secret glimpse into the investigation into Hillary Clinton's private email server.
The Justice Department asked a federal judge Monday to accept "additional details" under seal about how the FBI conducted its search for records a Vice News journalist requested under the Freedom of Information Act from the law enforcement agency about the probe it is conducting into Clinton's email set-up and how classified information came to reside in the Democratic presidential candidate's account.
"These details supplement defendants showing that it conducted a reasonable search, but cannot be disclosed on the public record without compromising information that the FBI seeks to protect," Justice Department lawyers wrote, citing FOIA exemption for ongoing government investigations and enforcement actions...

(325 posts)6. I believe Vice filed a FOIA request on the 30000 deleted emails
That were later recovered. This request was rejected without explanation, which is legal to protect an investigation. They're providing more details on it now, but still not publicly. That's what I gather at least.
