WASHINGTON (AP) — Though FBI Director James Comey won't recommend Hillary Clinton be criminally charged for use of a private email server -- he's calling her actions "extremely careless." Comey contradicted Clinton's past claims that she had turned over all of her emails and that she'd never sent or received any emails that were classified at the time. The FBI chief says 110 emails were determined to contain classified information at the time they were sent or received. He also found that "several thousand work-related emails" were not among the group of 30,000 emails Clinton turned over in 2014.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The White House says President Barack Obama is enthusiastic about Hillary Clinton's campaign but doesn't plan to address the FBI investigation into her emails when he campaigns with her today. White House press secretary Josh Earnest dodged questions about the investigation's findings and how they reflect on Clinton. He says the White House is trying to avoid the appearance of interfering while the Justice Department considers whether to charge Clinton. Attorney General Loretta Lynch said last week that she would accept the recommendations of the FBI director.

CAIRO (AP) — Egyptian investigators who've analyzed a recovered cockpit voice recorder from the EgyptAir flight that crashed into the Mediterranean say pilots tried to extinguish a fire aboard the plane. The recordings are consistent with data previously recovered from the plane's wreckage that showed heat, fire, and smoke around a bathroom and the avionics area. The crash of the flight from Paris to Cairo killed all 66 people on board.

PARIS (AP) — The head of a commission of lawmakers looking into last year's Paris attacks has found intelligence failures in France and abroad kept authorities from thwarting the attacks. The six-month investigation found that the only surviving attacker from the November attacks that killed 147 should not have been able to escape into hiding in Belgium, where he was on the radar. The commission also says a man thought to have played a top role in the attacks was a known radical who slipped across European borders.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Transportation Security Administration says it's expanding tests to speed up airport lines and improve security. TSA plans to start using CT scanners to inspect carry-on bags at a checkpoint in the Phoenix airport by the end of the year -- which would eliminate the need for screeners to examine X-ray images of every bag. The agency says it will also expand a pilot program that sends suspicious bags to a separate area for more screening while other bags on the conveyer belt keep moving.
