Hillary Clinton exchanged 22 emails that contained top secret information with three of her close aides on her private server when she worked in the Obama administration, according to newly released documents.
VICE News obtained documents as part of a FOIA request, which show Clinton violated protocol on several occasions while she served as Secretary of State from 2009-2013.
The documents, however, do not show what was in the emails; the only information listed is who was on the email chains.
A few of the descriptions, according to VICE:
- "Email chain originating with email from a State Department official to multiple State Department officials, concluding with message to Jacob Sullivan from Secretary Clinton."
- "Email from a State Department official to multiple State Department officials, forwarded by Jacob Sullivan to Secretary Clinton and Cheryl Mills."
- "Email from a State Department official to multiple State Department officials, forwarded by Jacob Sullivan to Secretary Clinton, Cheryl Mills, and William Burns."
William Burns was Clinton's deputy secretary of state, Cheryl Mills was chief of staff, and Jake Sullivan was deputy chief of staff.
The topics and dates (aside from the years) of the emails were withheld by the State Department because all of the information was highly classified. The 22 emails were part of seven separate email chains.
The FBI announced earlier this month
Clinton should not face criminal prosecution for her use of a private email address and server when she worked in the State Department. The Department of Justice followed the bureau's recommendation and said it would not pursue a case.
In response to the FBI's findings that Clinton was "extremely careless," the Department of State has
reopened its probe into her email usage.
