Hillary Clinton has agreed to give the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) access to her private email server, which she used when she was Secretary of State.

According to the BBC, the use of a private email server by Clinton has generated a lot of criticism during her campaign for seeking the office of president in 2016.

The FBI is investigating whether classified information was improperly sent via the server or stored there.

Clinton had initially handed over thousands of pages of emails to the State Department but retained the server.

Clinton's lawyers have said that they will also hand over memory sticks which contain copies of the emails to the FBI.
