WASHINGTON
(AP) -- The State Department has suspended its internal review into
whether former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton or her top aides
mishandled emails containing information now deemed 'top secret."
Spokeswoman
Elizabeth Trudeau said Friday the department had paused the review to
avoid interfering with an ongoing FBI investigation into Clinton's use
of a private server while she was America's top diplomat. She said the
decision was made after the department sought the FBI's advice on how to
proceed with the review and received word that it should follow its
standard practice. Trudeau said the department's standard practice is to
place internal reviews "on hold while there is an ongoing law
enforcement investigation underway."
An FBI spokeswoman declined to comment.
Huma Abedin on her emails being out there: 'terrifying'
POLITCO
Huma Abedin hasn’t freshly read any of her email exchanges with Hillary Clinton that have been released by the State Department, but the longtime Clinton aide said it is "terrifying" to know that the messages are out there.
“It’s something I can’t really think about, but I can’t even imagine what’s in those emails. But I’m sure I would probably be mortified. I have no idea. I haven’t read any of them,” Abedin, who served as one of Clinton's top aides at State, said in an interview with the podcast "Call Your Girlfriend."
The State Department publicly released thousands of emails from Clinton, including many messages to her aides, after it was discovered that she used a private email server during her four-year tenure as secretary of state. Clinton has said that, looking back, it wasn't the best decision, but that she did not violate any rules or laws. The FBI is investigating the unusual server setup.
