Huma: Hillary Flouted Protocol, Used Burn Bags To Destroy Documents Prohibited By Federal Regs

Abedin also admitted to being “aware of [her] obligation not to delete federal records or destroy federal records.”

Huma Abedin, a top aide to presumptive Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, says that the former secretary of state routinely used burn bags to dispose of personal documents during her time at the State Department.

Abedin also admitted to being “aware of [her] obligation not to delete federal records or destroy federal records.”
