WashPost: State Dept Probes Emails Sent to Hillary Clinton

The long-running State Department investigation into former Secretary Hillary Clinton's private email server has extended to as many as 130 U.S. diplomats who sent messages to to her private email, The Washington Post reported.

The private server might have been scrubbed, but those officials who exchanged potentially classified material with her private email account has permitted the State Department's Bureau of Diplomatic Security to get a glimpse of what it contained.

The investigation that began during the Obama administration has intensified now as it nears completion and the State Department has contacted those who exchanged retroactively classified emails that potentially violate security.

"This has nothing to do with who is in the White House," a senior State Department official told the Post. "This is about the time it took to go through millions of emails, which is about 3½ years."
