Loretta Lynch arrives for news conference in Washington, Thursday, Sept. 22, 2016. However, during yesterday's testimony, the Attorney-General suddenly backtracked. "Conceal" is a loaded term that misstates the issue.
The president tweeted early on Tuesday: "A.G". "Sometimes in classified situations - and then those lawmakers would then brief other lawmakers on what was discussed".
And given the current focus on what President Trump may or may not have said to Mr. Comey concerning the investigation of former national security adviser Michael T. Flynn, comments by former president Obama could also be pursued: In the midst of the presidential campaign and investigation of Mrs. Clinton's e-mail use, Mr. Obama said she had made a "mistake" but "I don't think it posed a national security problem".
"That concerned me because that language tracked the way the campaign was talking about the FBI's work, and that, that's concerning", said Comey, who was sacked by Trump on May 9 and testified before the Senate Intelligence Committee last Thursday.
According to Circa's sources who were "directly briefed on the matter", Comey had a "frosty exchange" with Lynch when he confronted her about the evidence.

The party continued that any deal agreed between the two parties could affect the ability to form a new Stormont Government. Earlier, Ms Foster said the talks were going well: "We hope soon to be able to bring this work to a successful conclusion".
In multiple private sessions over the last few months, Comey has told lawmakers about a second, later confrontation with Lynch shortly before the email probe was shut down. That is what Circa's sources claim.
Lynch reportedly made the request during a meeting with Comey in September 2015.
Comey "took that interaction and the fact she had met with Bill Clinton as enough reason to decide he would not allow the Justice Department to decide the fate of the case and instead would go public" with his own assessment that the Federal Bureau of Investigation could not prove Mrs. Clinton meant to violate the law when she transmitted classified information through her private email and therefore should not be criminally charged. Lynch and Mr. Comey testify before the judiciary committee.
These allegations demand an immediate investigation by Congress. Comey testified that he did just that - on January 6, Jan. 27 and again on March 30. In a desperate, last-minute attempt to appease Clinton, Comey concluded days before the election that nothing incriminating was found.
In the open session before the Intelligence Committee, Comey said that Lynch directed him to describe the Clinton email probe as a "matter" and not an "investigation".
