The FBI has reportedly reopened an investigation into a meeting between Bill Clinton and former Attorney General Loretta Lynch - a runway tarmac encounter during the election campaign that Donald Trump claimed was an attempt to influence a probe into his rival's use of a private email server.

The American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ) made a request for the FBI to reopen its consideration of their push for documents relating to the meeting. The chief counsel for the ACLJ is Jay Sekulow, one of the people on Donald Trump's legal team.

Mr Sekulow said the FBI sent him a letter saying it had reopened his Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request for documents related to the June 2016 meeting. A batch of emails was eventually released after the initial request.
