Hillary Clinton says she’s confident about proper handling of emails
The front runner to represent the Democratic Party in the November 2016 election, Ms Clinton has repeatedly said she broke no laws or rules by eschewing a standard government email account.
But, they added, they found that a sample of 40 of Clinton’s emails from Clinton’s server contained four with classified information that should “never have been transmitted via an unclassified personal system”.
“The Journal notes that “…the Inspector General of the Intelligence Community concluded that Mrs. Clinton’s email contains material from the intelligence community that should have been considered “secret” at the time it was sent, the second-highest level of classification”.
Campaign spokesperson Nick Merrill said the Democratic candidate’s testimony will be public. “Status.15cv688-2.pdf” >that statement with regard to a Judicial Watch Freedom of Information Act lawsuit filed in federal court requesting records about the State Department’s vetting of then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s for potential conflicts of interest.
“Secretary Clinton’s campaign may want to reach out to her lawyer, Mr. David Kendall, with whom the Committee has had ongoing conversations”, said Jamal Ware, the committee’s communications director. “I can tell you what the facts are”, she said. “She was not exactly at the forefront of transparency in trying to make this public, and in fact, if she had listened to the President of the United States, her boss, on day one of the administration and done this on a government server, we wouldn’t have these issues”.
The Times’ story was published Thursday night, citing “senior government officials” who said that the Justice Department would be asked to perform a criminal investigation into Clinton’s emails.
The Benghazi committee, in the course of its investigation, discovered that Clinton had used her personal email account for State Department business. “So unless the committee now believes emails are no longer in its jurisdiction, we are in agreement”. “The best-the only way-to resolve these important factual questions is for her to turn over her server to the proper authorities for independent forensic evaluation”, he said in part.
“They could spend six to nine months deciding whether or not to investigate their former secretary of state”. Earlier this year – after Ware said the committee would not be able to finish its probe until next year – Clinton’s campaign chairman John Podesta said that was proof the committee’s inquiry was a political stunt aimed at derailing her candidacy.
Trump’s campaign said Friday that it wouldn’t issue press credentials to reporters from the paper after it published a critical editorial, urging him to abandon his race for the Republican presidential nomination.
