Report: Clinton Broke Government Rules by Using Private Email Server

HeadlineMay 26, 2016

An internal government watchdog has concluded Hillary Clinton broke government rules by using a private email server without approval for her work while she was secretary of state. That was the key finding of a long-awaited report by the State Department inspector general released on Wednesday. The report concluded that Clinton would not have been allowed to use a private server in her home had she asked, because it posed “significant security risks.” This contradicts claims by Clinton that use of a home server was allowed and that no permission was needed. Although Clinton said she would comply with all probes into the server use, Clinton and eight of her deputies, including Cheryl Mills, Jake Sullivan and Huma Abedin, declined to be interviewed for the inspector general’s investigation. Clinton’s use of a private email server for State Department business is also the subject of an ongoing FBI investigation and has plagued her presidential campaign for months. We’ll have more on the report and the email server controversy after headlines.
