During former FBI Director James Comey’s Senate testimony, he expounded upon what then-Attorney General Loretta Lynch told him to call the FBI’s inquiry into Hillary Clinton’s emails.

Instead of calling it an investigation, Lynch “directed” Comey to call it a “matter.”

“At one point, the attorney general directed me not to call it an investigation, but to call it a matter, and that confused me and concerned me,” Comey said.
