FBI reportedly recovers emails from Clinton server
The FBI has recovered emails from the server that Hillary Clinton used while serving as secretary of State, Bloomberg reported on Tuesday evening, citing someone familiar with the investigation.Bloomberg
reported that federal investigators had recovered both work-related and
personal emails from the server that the Democratic presidential
candidate had said were deleted.
The federal probe into classified
information on the server will likely take several more months at
least, the source told Bloomberg, adding that the agency was separating
out personal emails.
One government official told The New York Times
that it had not been very difficult for the agency to recover the
emails from the server, which Clinton gave to investigators in August.
Clinton
has said that she deleted about half of the 60,000 emails from her
server that she and her aides deemed personal in nature, giving the
State Department the rest for archiving.
“We’ve cooperated to date
and will continue to do so, including answering any questions about
this that anyone including the public may have," Clinton spokesman Nick
Merrill told Bloomberg.
The existence of Clinton's private email
account and server that she used during her four-year tenure as
secretary of State, ending in 2013, came to light in March.
Questions
surrounding her email arrangement and handling of potentially
classified information has dogged her presidential campaign for months.
Meanwhile,
the State Department has been releasing on a rolling basis the emails
Clinton turned over to the department after redacting portions deemed
sensitive or classified.
