FBI Director James Comey testified before Congress Thursday over the agency’s decision to recommend no charges be brought against Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton over her use of multiple private email servers while she was secretary of state. South Carolina Congressmember Trey Gowdy pressed Comey on the discrepancies between Hillary Clinton’s statements that none of the emails had been marked classified at the time they were sent and the FBI’s findings.
Rep. Trey Gowdy: “Secretary Clinton said there was nothing marked classified on her emails, either sent or received. Was that true?”
James Comey: “That’s not true. There were a small number of portion markings on, I think, three of the documents.”
Rep. Trey Gowdy: “Secretary Clinton said, 'I did not email any classified material to anyone on my email. There is no classified material.' Was that true?”
James Comey: “There was classified material emailed.”
