FBI Releases 189 More Pages of Hillary Clinton Email Probe Documents
By MIKE LEVINE - Sep 23, 2016, 7:22 PM ET
The FBI released nearly 200 more pages of documents late today from its investigation into Hillary Clinton's use of a private email server, offering further insight into how FBI officials decided that charges were not warranted for the former secretary of state and her aides.
FBI Director James Comey has said repeatedly that while his agency's investigation found no evidence to indicate Clinton knew classified information was being sent over her home server, the FBI did conclude that Clinton was "extremely careless" in the handling of classified information.
In fact, the documents released today show that during a trip to Russia while secretary of state, one of Clinton's aides brought a pouch with Clinton's classified briefing book into the hotel suite they were sharing. After Clinton and the aide left the suite, diplomatic security found a classified document had been left behind -- and the pouch should not have been brought to the suite in first place, according to the FBI documents.
The 189 pages released today are comprised of summaries of FBI interviews with Clinton aides, State Department officials and other witnesses. They are peppered with redactions.
Many of the documents released today highlight how aides and officials knew they were discussing sensitive matters over email, but indicate they thought they were steering clear of classified information, according to what they told FBI agents.
