The Latest: Republicans criticize immunity to Clinton aide



WASHINGTON — The Latest on FBI Director James Comey’s testimony to Congress (all times local): 11:00 a.m.
House Republicans are criticizing FBI Director James Comey for immunity deals granted to Hillary Clinton’s former chief of staff and others involved in a now-closed FBI investigation into Clinton’s use of a private email server as secretary of state.
House Judiciary Chairman Bob Goodlatte and other Republicans said Wednesday that an immunity deal for Cheryl Mills, Clinton’s former chief of staff, was improper and short-circuited a possible criminal prosecution.
Comey said the immunity deal with Mills was granted by the Department of Justice — not the FBI — and was limited to information contained on her laptop. He said the FBI believed that information on the laptop was needed quickly.
Comey said lawmakers “can call us wrong, but don’t call us weasels. We are not weasels. We are honest people.”
