Two top lawmakers Friday asked the Justice Department for records of the FBI's interviews with the people who helped manage Hillary Clinton's private email server.

"We request that you provide unclassified and unredacted copies of interview notes and any accompanying materials for any interviews of Bryan Pagliano, Justin Cooper, and all employees of Platte River Networks," Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Chairman Ron Johnson and House Science Chairman Lamar Smith wrote to Attorney General Loretta Lynch in a new letter.


Pagliano and Cooper were two of the primary managers of the private server that the Democratic presidential nominee used while she was secretary of State.

Pagliano received immunity from prosecution in exchange for cooperating with the FBI's investigation into whether Clinton mishandled classified information in discussing her work over private email. The FBI closed that investigation in July without recommending charges.

The New York Times revealed Thursday that the government also granted immunity to another aide, Platte River Networks specialist Paul Combetta. Sources told the Times that Combetta is the PRN employee identified in a new FBI report as having deleted many of Clinton's emails - at her aides' request - despite a congressional preservation order.

"These individuals tasked by Secretary Clinton and her senior advisers to manage her server did not have security clearances and, in some cases, did not have a particular expertise in cybersecurity," Smith and Johnson wrote in their letter.

Smith has repeatedly asked Platte River Networks and two other companies that helped maintain the server for documents related to their work. When the companies declined, citing instructions from Clinton, Smith subpoenaed them.
