Hillary Clinton Hands Over Private Email Server to the Feds

Hillary Rodham Clinton agreed to turn over her private email server to the FBI late Tuesday after months of pressure surrounding the news that Clinton relied on a personal email account throughout her time as Secretary of State.

The server was used to run the candidate's private account and was stored in her home in New York City. Clinton's attorney also handed over a thumb drive containing the same emails Clinton previously turned over to the State Department for its investigation.

"[Clinton] pledged to cooperate with the government's security inquiry, and if there are more questions, we will continue to address them," Clinton campaign spokesman Nick Merrill said, according to the Associated Press.

Clinton claimed she used the personal account because it was more convenient, and maintains she never used it for anything but unclassified purposes. However, a federal inquiry found at least two emails on her private account that were deemed "Top Secret," and Republican opponents in the presidential race have repeatedly called for an investigation by a third party.

Using a private account also may have left sensitive information unencrypted and vulnerable to foreign intelligence. Clinton previously said she had sent 60,000 emails in her time with the OBama administration, but discarded half "which were personal," the Associated Press reported. In December she turned over the remaining messages to the State Department for review, which is releasing some of them to the public.

As we get further into election season, it's clear Clinton's no good, very bad email security will continue to be at the forefront of the debates.
