Former President Bill Clinton spoke with Attorney General Loretta Lynch during an impromptu meeting in Phoenix, but Lynch says the discussion did not involve the investigation into Hillary Clinton's email use as secretary of state.

Lynch told reporters the meeting at a Phoenix airport on Tuesday was unplanned. She says it happened when the former president was waiting to depart and walked over to the attorney general's plane after she landed there.

Lynch was traveling with her husband and says her conversation with the former president "was a great deal about his grandchildren" and "primarily social and about our travels."

The exchange comes as the FBI is investigating the potential mishandling of sensitive information that passed through the server that Hillary Clinton used for personal and government email at State.

Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign is airing advertising in an Omaha congressional district, sending a signal that she may compete for support in Nebraska.

Clinton's campaign says it will begin airing two television ads in Nebraska featuring the Democratic presidential candidate's past work on efforts to help children.

Nebraska is a safe Republican state, but one of a few states that awards electoral votes by congressional districts. President Barack Obama's 2008 campaign won the Omaha-based district.

Clinton's team hopes to garner support in states where Republicans have performed well in the past, including North Carolina. Obama will hold his first joint event with Clinton next week in Charlotte.

Hillary Clinton is pocketing huge campaign money from tiny fundraisers, sometimes with as few as 10 people in the room.

An Associated Press review of her fundraising activities shows Clinton and allied Democrats netted at least $18 million from just 15 of these boutique events.

While helpful for the campaign's bottom line, these fundraisers open the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee to criticism she's beholden to big donors.

Both Clinton and Republican Donald Trump can solicit checks of $350,000 or more from a single donor thanks in part to a Supreme Court ruling that lifted an overall per-person cap on contributions.

At one recent event, 10 people gathered at the home of the Pritzker family in Chicago's Gold Coast neighborhood, raising $1 million or more for Clinton and fellow Democrats.
