Ayotte joins chorus calling for AG Lynch to recuse herself from Clinton probe

WASHINGTON — New Hampshire Sen. Kelly Ayotte on Friday called for U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch to "formally recuse" herself from investigations involving presumptive Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, a day after reports surfaced that Lynch and Clinton's husband held a rendezvous aboard a private jet.

"I am disappointed that she declined to do so."
