Former Attorney General Loretta Lynch has flatly accused former FBI Director James Comey of mischaracterizing her statements by repeatedly alleging, under oath, that Lynch privately instructed him to call the Hillary Clinton email probe a "matter" instead of an "investigation." A transcript of her testimony was released on Monday by House Judiciary Committee ranking member Doug Collins, R-Ga. But in her testimony in December, Lynch said Comey had completely mischaracterized the situation. "I did not," Lynch responded when asked if she had "ever" told Comey to call the investigation a "matter."
