The Federal Bureau of Investigation is likely to interview Hillary Clinton in the next few weeks about her use of a private email server while she was U.S. secretary of state and have already interviewed some of her aides, CNN reported on Thursday.
The nine-month investigation into whether laws were broken as a result of the server kept in her New York home has overshadowed Clinton's campaign to become the Democratic Party's candidate in November's presidential election.
With only a few states left to vote in primary elections, she retains a commanding lead over her rival, U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont.
More than 2,000 emails sent and received by Clinton while working as President Barack Obama's top diplomat include classified information, which the government bans from being handled outside secure, government-controlled channels.
Clinton has said she did not send or receive any information that was marked as classified and has accused the State Department and other government agencies of "over-classifying" her emails after a judge ordered them released to the public. She has said she expects to be exonerated by the FBI, a point her campaign staff echoed on Thursday.
"We are confident the review will conclude that nothing inappropriate took place," the campaign told CNN.

Well, history “is what it is”. He WAS “IMPEACHED” and he escaped conviction in the Senate by only 1 vote. He paid one woman for raping her and so on and so on. And, he lost his law license but so what, who would hire him anyway.
You raise a good question about “is an FBI “interview” the same as a “deposition?” I think the answer to that is Yes but with the qualifier that one ingredient of a true “deposition” is that the party in question must be under oath. Maybe some lawyer on tonight can verify or reject that.
Enough of the interviews! Where’s the actual PROSECUTION INDICTMENT stage!!
“We are confident the review will conclude that nothing inappropriate took place,” the campaign told CNN.”
The only way for Hillary to escape this as a viable candidate is for Comey to hold a news conference and say that.
