Attorney general: Silent on Clinton email case with Obama

She added, “I have never spoken with it at the White House or the president”.

The FBI will release Monday a partial transcript of Pulse nightclub shooter Omar Mateen’s conversations with hostage negotiators during the massacre, Attorney General Loretta Lynch.

The transcripts will reveal Mateen’s stated allegiance to terrorist groups, but Lynch said no information indicates he was directed to commit the act by anyone overseas. Lynch said Mateen’s vows of fealty to Islamic State would not be part of the transcripts released Monday. “And we’re also asking people who had contact with him to come forward”. Obama endorsed Clinton in a web video June 9: “I don’t think there’s ever been someone so qualified to hold this office”, Obama said. “It’s really too early to talk about other individuals in the investigation, except to say that we are talking to everyone who had a connection to this killer”, she said. “People have. We greatly appreciate that”. Donald Trump, the presumptive Republican candidate for president, has cited the killing as justification for his proposed ban on Muslim immigration to the USA, and Sunday he said the US needs to “look at profiling” as well. The mass shooting killed 50 people and injured 53 others in what is the deadliest mass shooting in the country’s history.

Lynch appeared on five political talk shows on Sunday.

“The question has now been called upon the people of Florida: Will you uproot this toxic dehumanization of the LGBT community”, said Nadine Smith, executive director of the LGBT advocacy group Equality Florida, “or will you, by action or indifference, allow us to be treated as inferiors in laws that protect our basic rights?” We’ve got career agents and lawyers looking at that.

The FBI again carried out an investigation into possible ties between Mateen and a USA suicide bomber in 2014. “We’re not going to hear him make his assertions of allegiance”.

She declined to comment on whether authorities will press charges against Noor Salman, Mateen’s wife, who had been calling and texting with the gunman during the shooting. She explained why a tip from a Florida gun shop owner saying that a man-who turned out to be Mateen-acted suspiciously inside the gun store didn’t turn into a more thorough investigation.
