Hillary Clinton's Emails Back in the News
State Department Releases Over 30,000 Emails
The State Department has finished releasing more than 30,000 emails from Hillary Clinton's time as Secretary of State. The emails have been a source of controversy since they were first discovered in 2015, with some critics arguing that Clinton violated federal law by using a private email server for official government business.
Clinton Cleared by FBI Twice
Clinton has been cleared twice by the FBI over her use of the private email server. In 2016, then-FBI Director James Comey announced that Clinton would not face charges, although he said that she had been "extremely careless" in her handling of classified information. In 2022, the FBI announced that it had reopened its investigation into Clinton's emails, but it closed the investigation without charges earlier this year.
Emails Released Shortly After Trump Indictment
The release of the emails comes shortly after former President Donald Trump was indicted on charges related to his handling of classified information. Trump has been accused of mishandling classified documents by taking them to his Mar-a-Lago resort after leaving office. The indictment against Trump has raised new questions about the handling of classified information by senior government officials.
