Hillary Clinton Email Said to Contain Classified Information [View all]

Source: NEW YORK TIMES

WASHINGTON — Government investigators have discovered four emails containing what they say is classified information on the personal email account that Hillary Rodham Clinton used as secretary of state, the investigators said in a letter to Congress released on Friday.

Mrs. Clinton, meanwhile, said Friday that she would stay focused on the issues at the heart of her presidential campaign, and that she was concerned about “a lot of inaccuracies’’ in the reporting of her personal email account.

“Maybe the heat is getting to everybody,’’ she said at a campaign event at New York University. “We are all accountable to the American people to get the facts right, and I will do my part,” Mrs. Clinton added. “But I’m also going to stay focused on the issues, particularly the big issues, that really matter to American families.”

The government investigators discovered the four emails while reviewing a sampling of 40 emails from Ms. Clinton’s account. Of those, four contained information that should have been marked classified and should have been sent and stored on a secure computer system, I. Charles McCullough III, the inspector general of the intelligence community, the internal watchdog for the nation’s intelligence agencies, said in the letter to Congress.
