PHOENIX - Amid an ongoing investigation into Hillary Clinton's use of email and hours before the public release of the Benghazi report, US Attorney General Loretta Lynch met privately with former President Bill Clinton.
The private meeting took place on the west side of Sky Harbor International Airport on board a parked private plane.
Former President Clinton was visiting the Phoenix area and arrived to Sky Harbor Monday evening to depart.
Clinton was notified Lynch would be arriving at the airport soon and waited for her arrival.
Lynch was arriving in Phoenix for a planned visit as part of her national tour to promote community policing.
ABC15 asked Lynch about the meeting during her news conference at the Phoenix Police Department.
"I did see President Clinton at the Phoenix airport as he was leaving and spoke to myself and my husband on the plane," said Lynch.
The private meeting comes as Lynch's office is in charge of the ongoing investigation and potential charges involving Clinton's email server.
The private meeting also occurred hours before the Benghazi report was released publicly involving Hillary Clinton and President Obama's administration.
Lynch said the private meeting on the tarmac did not involve these topics.
"Our conversation was a great deal about grandchildren, it was primarily social about our travels and he mentioned golf he played in Phoenix," said Lynch Tuesday afternoon while speaking at the Phoenix Police Department.

Oh, they just talked about grandkids and golf. Nothing to see here- move along.
Very sneaky, Loretta. Trying to get herself OUT of having to render a decision on Hillary by doing something that could get her recused from this matter. Then what?
If you want to know what was said between Clinton and Lynch in the plane, call the Red Chinese Embassy in DC. They have the tapes and transcripts for sale.
How many “grandchildren” does Clinton have, that he knows about and doesn’t know about?
This meeting would seem to be “collusion” between the AG and a possible defendant. Anyone big on explaining legal ethics and practices here?
Consiglieri meets the Godfather? I’ve got to stop watching movies. Capish?
Oh, horsefeathers, horseshit, horseheads!
Calling Ron Brown. Vince Foster on the phone for you!
Just ragging and ranting, and loving it.
If this Administration gets any more corrupt, Huey Long and the Tammany Hall bunch will get pardons, from the public, for being rank amateurs.
Good one.
The rules don’t apply equally to everyone, but the optics of this are either indicative of major hubris or total stupidity.
Correct me if I am wrong, but is there not a separate FBI investigation into a pay for play scheme involving the Clinton Foundation? If so, Clinton himself might be considered a suspect if he solicited donations in return for quid pro quo from his wife as Sec of State. One also has to wonder if part of the investigation does not involve the ridiculous speaking fees he received from companies that benefitted in some way from her decisions.
This looks bad, but nobody in the MSM appears to have the slightest interest. Go figure. Go back and compare the media allegations and insinuations regarding Haliburton and Cheney/Bush. It’s a drop of water compared to the Clinton puddle.
I don’t know. Men bumped the Obama press conference with Canada and Mexico leaders for a trump speech today. I was shocked.
Where is Trumps rapid response team on this-I hear crickets?
Greta was great today on the Lynch-Clinton tryst and her panel agreed.
They also talked about yoga.
Question: Why was Lynch in Phoenix to begin with?
Official business? Doubt it.
AG Loretta Lynch OWES her govt career to Bill Clinton!! He selected her for the US Atty post that began her path toward AG.
Bill and Hill later used Lynch’s private law firm for their own legal work.
This all stinks to high heaven, AG Lynch is thoroughly biased and compromised (surprise!!!!)

And SHE WENT TO CLINTON”S PLANE.....WOW!!! How CORRUPT can they be?? And they don’t even try to HIDE their CORRUPTION!!
>Even if one were to believe their conversation was limited to “the grandchildren,” can anyone envision a scenario where it would be proper for the lead prosecutor in a government corruption investigation to have a private social meeting with the spouse of one of (if not the main) subjects of said investigation?

Ethics? In *govt*? How cute!
I don’t care who you are, that’s funny right there. /s
That is a good question
What possible legitimate purpose could there be for Loretta Lynch to meet Bill Clinton? And why for a half hour in a plane in Arizona? I think they both have offices...
Has anyone asked him or her what the meeting was all about?
Loretta in her using Madeline Kahn’s words, * It’s twue. It’s Twue!
IT”S TWUUUE!*
I also understand he paid the dry cleaning bill.
Rush is on now (12:20pm) talking about this and doing a great job.
I’m sure it was about what each party has on the other and what would happen if it got out...MAD
