FBI Opens Probe into Hillary Clinton’s Use of Private Email Server

HeadlineAug 05, 2015

The Washington Post is reporting the FBI has opened a preliminary probe into the security of the private email setup Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton used while she served as secretary of state. The probe is looking into whether any classified material that may have moved through the private server was handled improperly. The FBI inquiry was confirmed by Clinton’s lawyer, who said they are cooperating with the probe. This comes 10 days after The New York Times incorrectly reported that two inspectors general had asked the Justice Department to open a formal investigation into the private email account, a story that the Times later retracted.
