Trump suggests FBI gave Clinton immunity in email probe

Donald Trump on Thursday derided the FBI for giving Hillary Clinton’s staffers immunity during its yearlong investigation into her use of a private email server while she led the State Department.

The Republican presidential nominee dubbed the five people who were granted immunity the “FBI Immunity Five” and suggested that the bureau was so lax in giving people immunity in the case that the investigators had no one left to interview and Clinton herself was given immunity, too.


“You saw what happened about taking the Fifth Amendment, and her ring leaders getting immunity deals,” Trump said during a rally in Bedford, New Hampshire. “We’ll call them really the FBI Immunity Five.”

But he didn’t stop there. “They gave so much immunity there was nobody left to talk to. There was nobody left, except Hillary,” he said. “They probably gave her immunity, too. Do you think Hillary got immunity? Yeah, she had the immunity. She had something.”
