Hillary Clinton runs into rough weather over emails

Washington, July 25: Democratic 2016 presidential contender Hillary Clinton ran into a new political storm over the use of a private server for sending official emails with reports suggesting that some emailed material contained classified information. The inspector general for the intelligence community had informed US Congress that some material emailed from the former secretary of state's private server contained classified information, but it was not identified that way, CNN reported. The IG reviewed a "limited sampling" of her emails and among those 40 reviewed found that "four contained classified (intelligence community) information", IG Charles McCullough was quoted as saying in a letter to Congress. The four emails in question "were classified when they were sent and are classified now", spokeswoman Andrea Williams told CNN. McCullough said that State Department Freedom of Information Act officials told the intelligence community IG that "there are potentially hundreds of classified emails within the approximately 30,000 provided by former Secretary Clinton". Clinton on Friday criticised what she called "a lot of inaccuracies" in reports about the classified emails.
