Loretta Lynch Meeting With Bill Clinton Sparked FBI Mole Hunt

A meeting last year between then-Attorney General Loretta Lynch and former President Bill Clinton triggered a hunt within the FBI for a source who talked to a reporter about the controversial encounter, newly released government emails show.

The emails, released by the watchdog group Judicial Watch, show that FBI agents in the bureau’s security division were miffed about an article that appeared in the New York Observer detailing the logistics of how Lynch and Clinton came to meet on the tarmac at Phoenix’s airport on June 27, 2016.

The FBI had initially told Judicial Watch that it did not have documents related to the Lynch-Clinton meeting.
