Reporter Per Shuster says federal investigators are nearing a decision on whether to consider criminal charges against the former Secretary of State and former first lady of the United States.

Citing an anonymous law enforcement source, Al Jazeera revealed: FBI Director James Comey directly directed this search. An investigation team has also been established at the decision of Justice Department prosecutors. The team is evaluating evidence, analyzing data according to the relevant laws and preparing to conduct interviews with key figures related to the case.

This number will include Mrs. Clinton and Staff aide Cheryl Mills. After the interview process ends, Director Comey is said to make a recommendation to Attorney General Loretta Lynch about the possibility of criminal charges against Mrs. Clinton.

Previously, in an interview with ABC News, Mrs. Clinton admitted that she made a "mistake" when using her personal email to handle work instead of her official government-issued email account, and pledged to "take full responsibility" for the incident. Although she still emphasized that using personal email during her time as Secretary of State was "allowed," the Democratic presidential candidate expressed regret for not using two separate email accounts for public and private work.
