Hillary Clinton insisted Wednesday night that she would not be indicted over her email controversy, firing back at debate moderators who asked whether she would drop out of the contest under those circumstances.

"Oh for goodness, that is not going to happen," Clinton said. "I'm not even answering that question."

Republicans have made Clinton's use of a personal email server during her time as President Barack Obama's secretary of state a cornerstone in their argument that she is not qualified to be president.

The FBI is currently investigating whether Clinton's use of the server broke any laws.

The review could conclude as early as May. And experts say it's unlikely a criminal indictment will come down.

The question came early in the Democratic debate, the second debate in four days. Clinton and Sen. Bernie Sanders were on stage in Miami, with six days to go before Florida's primary.
