"Secretive and highly classified" government information has been found on the private email server Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton used when she served as secretary of state,
Fox News reports.
A letter sent to senior lawmakers by top Inspector Gen. Charles McCullough on January 14, and obtained by Fox, reveals that intelligence agencies identified emails involving "special access programs," or SAP — a level of classification beyond "top secret," according to Fox News.
"There is absolutely no way that one could not recognize SAP material. It is the most sensitive of the sensitive," a former senior law enforcement officer told Fox News.
In fact, an executive order signed in 2009 says, "the number of persons who ordinarily will have access will be reasonably small and commensurate with the objective of providing enhanced protection for the information involved."
The former federal law enforcement official told the network the finding "represents a potential violation of USC 18 Section 793, 'gross negligence' in the handling of secure information under the Espionage Act."
