Attorney General Loretta Lynch says she has 'never' discussed the Justice Department's probe of Hillary Clinton's emails with President Barack Obama.

'We have never discussed the Clinton case,' she said today on Fox News Sunday. 'I have never spoken about it with the president or really any one at the White House.'

Lynch said, 'That's not the kind relationship that I have with people there, and it would be inappropriate to do so.'

The White House routinely points to the independent nature of the Justice Department as the reason it cannot comment on ongoing criminal probes, including the the review of Clinton's email system.

Today Lynch affirmed that neither the president nor his advisers are pushing her to exonerate Clinton, the presumptive Democratic nominee, for political purposes.

Lynch said the president did not discuss his endorsement of Clinton with her and asserted 'the investigation into the State Department email matter is going to be handled like any other matter.'

'I don't get involved in whom the president endorses, and I don’t have comments...on any of the candidates,' the attorney general said.

Lynch serves at the pleasure of the president like the rest of his cabinet.

She said that has not affected her department's investigation into the security of the private server that Clinton kept in her basement.

Career lawyers and agents are assigned to that investigation, she said. 'And they will follow the facts and follow the evidence wherever it leads and come to a conclusion.'

Lynch likewise brushed off host Chris Wallace's suggestion that Obama's endorsement of Clinton is a conflict of interest.

'No this is not a conflict for me or for the department or for anyone,' she said. 'We will continue to do all of our work in the same way that we always have, with the interest of the american people first and foremost.'

The FBI has not filed its report on Clinton's email practices and and has not indicated when it will do so.

It's unlikely the probe will result in criminal charges for Clinton, who says she never sent nor received classified information through her personal email, and therefore did not break the law.

A State Department review of her emails did not contradict her statements, though many of the emails were retroactively classified or redacted before they were released to the public.

Obama endorsed Clinton for president a week and a half ago in a video shot inside the White House once she locked up the popular vote in the Democratic nomination.

'I don't think there's ever been someone so qualified to hold this office. She's got the courage, the compassion and the heart to get the job done, Obama said. 'I'm with her. I am fired up and I cannot wait to get out there and campaign for Hillary.'
