Pressed by the F.B.I. about her email practices at the State Department, Hillary Clinton told investigators that former Secretary of State Colin L. Powell had advised her to use a personal email account
The account is included in the notes the Federal Bureau of Investigation handed over to Congress on Tuesday, relaying in detail the three-and-a-half-hour interview with Mrs. Clinton in early July that led to the decision by James B. Comey, the bureaus director, not to pursue criminal charges against her.
The journalist Joe Conason first reported the conversation between Mrs. Clinton and Mr. Powell in his coming book about Bill Clintons postpresidency, Man of the World: The Further Endeavors of Bill Clinton, which The Times received an advanced copy of.
Mr. Conason describes a conversation in the early months of Mrs. Clintons tenure at the State Department at a small dinner party hosted by Madeleine Albright, another former secretary of state, at her home in Washington. Henry Kissinger and Condoleezza Rice also attended.
Toward the end of the evening, over dessert, Albright asked all of the former secretaries to offer one salient bit of counsel to the nations next top diplomat, Mr. Conason writes. Powell told her to use her own email, as he had done, except for classified communications, which he had sent and received via a State Department computer.
Mr. Conason continued, Saying that his use of personal email had been transformative for the department, Mr. Powell thus confirmed a decision she had made months earlier to keep her personal account and use it for most messages.
A longtime defender of the Clintons, Mr. Conason interviewed both Mr. and Mrs. Clinton for the book, a granular account of the years since Mr. Clinton left office that will be published on Sept. 13.
