The FBI's investigation into Hillary Clinton's use of a private email server during her tenure as Secretary of State was a major news story in 2015 and 2016. Here are some key points about the investigation and its findings:
Investigation: The FBI launched an investigation into Clinton's email server in July 2015, after it was discovered that she had used a private email account and server to conduct official business while serving as Secretary of State from 2009 to 2013.
Findings: The FBI investigation found that Clinton had been "extremely careless" in her handling of classified information, but ultimately did not recommend charges against her. The investigation concluded that Clinton had not intentionally mishandled classified information, but that her use of a private email server had created a risk of compromise.
Key findings:
- Clinton had sent and received thousands of emails containing classified information, including some that were marked as "top secret."
- Clinton had not properly marked or handled classified information, and had not followed proper procedures for handling sensitive information.
- Clinton's use of a private email server had created a risk of compromise, as it was not secure and was vulnerable to hacking.
Consequences: The FBI's findings were released in July 2016, just days before the Democratic National Convention. The investigation and its findings were widely covered in the media, and were a major issue in the 2016 presidential election.
Political fallout: The investigation and its findings were widely criticized by Clinton's supporters, who argued that the FBI's investigation was politically motivated and that Clinton had been unfairly targeted. Trump, on the other hand, seized on the investigation as evidence of Clinton's dishonesty and lack of trustworthiness.
Aftermath: The FBI's investigation and its findings had significant political fallout, with many Republicans calling for Clinton to be charged and convicted. Clinton's campaign and supporters argued that the investigation was a witch hunt and that Clinton had been unfairly targeted.
Recent developments: In 2020, the FBI released a trove of documents related to the investigation, including emails and other records. The documents revealed new details about the investigation and its findings, and sparked renewed debate about the handling of the investigation.
