A Democratic senator said Thursday that
Attorney General Loretta Lynch should not have held a private meeting with former President Bill Clinton
this week.
"I don't think it sends the right signal. I think she should have steered clear even of a brief, casual, social meeting with the former president," Sen. Chris Coons
Coons said he has been "impressed" by Lynch and her work since taking over the helm of the Justice Department last year, despite her meeting with Clinton.
"She has generally shown excellent judgment and strong leadership of the department, and I'm convinced that she is an independent attorney general," he said.
Lynch raised eyebrows when news emerged Wednesday that the attorney general, who is overseeing the investigation into Hillary Clinton
's use of a personal server while secretary of State, met with Bill Clinton.
Lynch said the pair did not discuss the Clinton email investigation or the House Benghazi panel's investigation, which was released the following day
