FBI releases report on its investigation into Hillary Clinton's use of a private email server
Hillary Clinton told federal agents and prosecutors that she did not recall receiving any emails that were too secretive to be handled by her private computer server and did not believe any of her devices had been hacked or compromised, according to FBI records released Friday. The former secretary of State reiterated earlier comments that she decided to use a single private email address to send personal and work correspondence as "a matter of convenience" and was not seeking to avoid having to comply with open records laws, according to an FBI summary of a three-hour interview with agents and prosecutors on July 2. The Democratic presidential nominee added that she relied on her staff -- three of her closest aides were responsible for the vast majority of her work-related correspondence -- and career diplomats to filter out secret information before it reached her unclassified email account. She pushed back when pressed by agents about specific emails containing classified material, saying she was not concerned that the information was sensitive or should have been deemed classified. During its investigation, the FBI determined that 110 emails contained material that should have been sent only on a classified system, even though they was not marked as such at the time. Another three emails included markings to indicate they contained classified information.
