CNN: The FBI Is Looking into the Security of Hillary Clinton’s Private E-Mail Server

‘Intelligence officials have raised concerns about sensitive information that could have been compromised’

PEREIRA: “Hillary Clinton's lawyer confirming a new report this morning, that the FBI is investigating the security of the private e-mail system used by Clinton when she was secretary of state. CNN  Senior Washington Correspondent Jeff Zeleny joins us from Washington with these developments. Jeff?”

ZELENY: “Good morning, Michaela. You are right, the FBI is looking into the security of Hillary Clinton's private e-mail server that she set up in her home in Chappaqua, New York back when she was secretary of state. Her lawyer, David Kendall is telling CNN they are actively cooperating with this ongoing probe to determine whether hundreds of e-mails, some containing material that was later classified were handled properly. Now, Clinton is not accused of any wrongdoing here in this probe. But intelligence officials have raised concern about sensitive information that could have been compromised. Overnight, her campaign spokesman Nick Merrill told CNN, ‘she did not receive any e-mails that were marked classified at the time. We want to ensure that appropriate procedures are followed as these e-mails are reviewed while not unduly delaying the release of her other e-mails. This decision to set up private e-mail server back in January, 2009 has been at the center of controversy in her presidential campaign and it’s raised questions of her trustworthiness and honesty. And as the FBI inquiry continues, so will all of those questions in this presidential campaign.”
