Former Attorney General Loretta Lynch will meet privately next week with House and Senate intelligence committee investigators probing Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election, The Hill has confirmed.

Lynch was at the center of several election-year controversies that will likely be of interest to investigators on Capitol Hill.

Former FBI Director James Comey testified before Congress earlier this year that Lynch had sought to influence his investigation into Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton Hillary Diane Rodham ClintonJeff Flake: Republicans 'should hold the same position' on SCOTUS vacancy as 2016 Momentum growing among Republicans for Supreme Court vote before Election Day Warning signs flash for Lindsey Graham in South Carolina MORE’s email server arrangement by instructing him to refer to it is a political “matter” rather than a “criminal investigation.”

“That gave me a queasy feeling,” Comey told a Congressional panel.

Under fire, Lynch announced she would defer to Comey’s judgment about whether Clinton should face charges for the mishandling of classified material while she was secretary of State.

That led to a dramatic press conference in which Comey announced he would not recommend charges against Clinton but detailed the ways she had been careless in her private email and server arrangement.

Lynch is the latest Obama official to meet with investigators on Capitol Hill, where lawmakers are looking into whether Trump officials colluded with Russians to swing the election and whether the Obama administration took the threat of Russian meddling seriously.
