good evening and thank you for joining us on this busy saturday. i'm cecilia vega. we begin tonight with that meeting, hillary clinton and the fbi, a 3 1/2-hour sitdown behind closed doors and the outcome could shape the race for the white house. this motor car leaving her washington home early this morning, ahead of the trip to the fbi headquarters. there, clinton voluntarily answered questions about her e-mails and the private server she had as secretary of state. it did not take long for donald trump to pounce that the system is totally rigged. abc's mary bruce starts us off in washington. >> reporter: at 7:40 a.m. on this holiday saturday, signs of movement from hillary clinton's d.c. home. clinton slipping out to fbi headquarters in an interview that could shape the race. for roughly 3 1/2 hours, clinton's questioned about her

private e-mail server while she is secretary of state. shortly afterwards with the press anxiously awaiting, suvs are spotted returning to clinton's home. in a statement, her campaign says clinton gave a voluntary interview and is pleased to bring this review to a conclusion. the long awaited interview, one of the final pieces as to whether classified information was mishandled. >> the long-awaited investigation in which it was m mishandled. she admits using private e-mail wasn't the best choice. >> as i said many times, if i could go back, i would do it differently. i have people have concerns about this. >> reporter: clinton handing over more than 52,000 e-mails, 22 of them withheld from public publication. ungraded to top classification.

the investigation has dogged her campaign from the start, raising questions from rivals about her judgment. the rnc today blasted clinton's interview as unprecedented. it comes among a firestorm with bill clinton's meeting with attorney general loretta lynch who has final say over the outcome of the investigation. >> i certainly wouldn't do it again. >> reporter: hoping to quite the uproar, the attorney general says she will accept the recommendation if charges will be filed against hillary clinton. donald trump just responding, tweeting, it is just impossible for the fbi not to recommend criminal charges against hillary clinton. what she did was wrong. one thing you did not see today. any public images of hillary clinton walking into the building. that was a strategic move by her campaign. they have a big week ahead with president obama joining hillary clinton out on the campaign trail. they are eager to move past this. cecilia? >> mary bruce, thank you. i want to bring in martha raddatz. many are wondering what comes next and whether a criminal prosecution is a possibility

here? >> hillary clinton is likely the last if not the last witness in the case. so they will compare what she said today to the evidence and testimony they have gathered from others and then make a decision in the coming weeks or months. as for prosecution, prosecutors are looking to see if any laws were broken in regards to mishandling classified material. but many legal experts think in this case, it's unlikely secretary clinton will face charges. but of course, that's based on what has been made public. either way, as you well know, this has been extremely politically damaging. >> it certainly has. martha, thank you. and martha has a big show coming up. much more on hillary clinton's fbi interrue, plus donald trump's most likely path to victory, tomorrow morning on "this week." next, overseas and a new details about a terror attack that left 20 hostages dead, including three students from american universities. it happened in bangladesh. a bakery popular with foreigners. this video there capturing the
