You're referring to Hillary Clinton's email controversy!
In 2013, Hillary Clinton, then the United States Secretary of State, used a personal email account to conduct official business while in office. This decision was criticized by many, including her political opponents and some government officials, who argued that it was a security risk and a violation of federal records laws.
Here's a brief summary of the controversy:
- In March 2013, Clinton set up a personal email account on a private server, rather than using a government-issued email account or a secure, government-approved email service.
- She used this account to send and receive emails related to her official duties as Secretary of State, including emails with government officials, diplomats, and other high-ranking officials.
- In August 2013, the New York Times reported on Clinton's use of a personal email account, sparking a controversy over the security and transparency of her email practices.
- In March 2015, the State Department announced that it had launched an investigation into Clinton's email practices, and in July 2015, the FBI launched its own investigation.
- In July 2016, the FBI concluded its investigation and recommended that no charges be filed against Clinton, citing a lack of evidence that she had intentionally mishandled classified information.
- In October 2016, the State Department released a batch of Clinton's emails, which were previously withheld due to their classification as "top secret."
- In January 2019, the State Department released a final batch of Clinton's emails, which were previously withheld due to their classification as "classified."
The controversy surrounding Hillary Clinton's email practices has been the subject of much debate and criticism, with some arguing that it was a security risk and a violation of federal records laws, while others have defended her actions as a reasonable and efficient way to manage her email communications.
