A Romanian computer hacker now in U.S. custody lied when he claimed to have accessed the private email server of Hillary Clinton, the director of the FBI told Congress on Thursday, Shane Harris reports for the Daily Beast.
The bureau interviewed the hacker, known as Guccifer, as part of its investigation into Clinton’s email use. He “admitted that was a lie,” Director James Comey said of Guccifer’s claims, which he made in an interview with Fox News in May.
Guccifer did, however, access the email of Clinton confidant Sidney Blumenthal, Comey confirmed.
