Although Clinton has repeatedly insisted none of the emails she sent or received were classified at the time, the intelligence community inspector general informed Congress Tuesday it had uncovered evidence that at least two emails among a small sample contained classified intelligence “when originated”.

The email to supporters comes a day after major revelations that two emails that passed through Clinton’s email contained information that should have been marked “top secret”, leaving open the potential for future revelations and stoking new scrutiny about the possibility of a criminal investigation.
The decision to hand over her server five months after the personal server became public reflects a mounting concern for Clinton’s “trustworthiness” in this 2016 presidential campaign.
The rest were turned over to the State Department, and Clinton asked that the messages, totaling 55,000 printed pages, be made public.
Hillary Clinton has testified that the server was wiped clean of more than 31,000 emails that involved personal matters such as wedding plans, vacations and details regarding physical conditioning and workouts.
The idea that Hillary Clinton has been running for the presidency so long that she’s entitled to the nomination really doesn’t sit well with Granite State voters.
The FBI took possession of Hillary Clinton’s former email server Wednesday afternoon from Platte River Networks’ data center in New Jersey, according to an attorney representing the company that Clinton used to managed her private email system. As governor of Florida, he kept a private email account and server, like Clinton. “In the meantime, her team has worked with the State Department to ensure her emails are stored in a safe and secure manner”.
A senior State Department official said it’s common that in cases of “parallel” information gathering from sensitive and publicly available sources, “the source from which the information is derived is critical in determining classification”. She destroyed thousands of others that she said were not work-related.
Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton continues to face questions about her use of a private email server when she was Secretary of State. Critics have accused her of trying to hide controversial communications in her private account, including those surrounding the deadly terrorist attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya in 2012. Kendall has said previously that Clinton is “actively cooperating” with the Federal Bureau of Investigation inquiry.

No. The information was deemed top secret only after it was forwarded to Clinton, and wasn’t considered as such at the time it went through her server. And, her lawyer, David Kendall, said in a letter to a congressional committee seeking the server that there was “no basis” to support a third-party examination of it.
