Our need for public safety and our need for privacy are crashing into each other and we've got to sort that out.

Really bad people around the world, because of the genius of American innovation, use our products and infrastructure for their emails, for their communications.

We're conducting an investigation to understand whether there was any coordination between the Russian efforts and anybody associated with the Trump campaign.

The FBI also discovered several thousand work-related e-mails that were not in the group of 30,000 that were returned by Secretary Clinton to State in 2014... I should add here that we found no evidence that any of the additional work-related e-mails were intentionally deleted in an effort to conceal them.

Sometimes the FBI is assigned to do background checks on people who are coming into government in the executive office of the president. Other times, not. A lot of times there are people who are arriving with clearances that already exist.

I'm in the business where I can't ever say there's no risk associated with someone.

I care a lot about privacy. I also care an awful lot about public safety. There continues to be a huge collision between those two things we care about.
