WASHINGTON — The F.B.I. director, James B. Comey, said on Tuesday that the F.B.I. was recommending no charges against Hillary Clinton for her use of a personal email server while secretary of state.
Mr. Comey said that “no reasonable prosecutor” would bring a case against Mrs. Clinton for her handling of classified information on her private server. But he said Mrs. Clinton and her staff were “extremely careless” in their use of email.

Attorney General Loretta Lynch said on Friday that she would accept whatever recommendation she received from the F.B.I.
