In 2014, as part of the ongoing investigation into Hillary Clintons use of a private email whilst Secretary of State, Clinton was asked to turn over all 'work related' emails covering her time at the State Department. Throughout the fall of 2014 Clintons chief of staff Cheryl Mills and ex-campaign staffer Heather Samuelson sorted through Clintons emails separating her work ones from her personal ones. By December 2014 she had turned over 30,000+ 'work related' emails.
A year later at the start of 2016, after the investigation had uncovered more potentially classified emails not originally in the batch of 30,000, the FBI felt they were unable to close the case until they had interviewed Clinton and her aides, and analyze the laptops Mills and Samuelson had used to sort through the initial batch of 30,000 emails.
