More than 1,200 emails from Hillary Clinton's private server during her time at the State Department have now been deemed classified, after the agency publicly released its eighth batch of the messages late Thursday. The agency released roughly 5,500 more pages of emails from the private email account that Clinton exclusively used during her four years at Foggy Bottom, with an additional 275 messages now upgraded to classified, bringing the total number of retroactively classified emails that moved through Clinton's unsecured server to 1,274. While most of those were elevated to the "confidential" level, according to a State Department official,...

While the country has been fixated on Donald Trump's tormenting his Republican primary opponents and deeply concerned about the government’s efforts to identify any confederates in the San Bernardino, California, killings, a team of federal prosecutors and FBI agents continues to examine Hillary Clinton’s tenure as secretary of state in order to determine whether she committed any crimes and, if so, whether there is sufficient evidence to prove her guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. What...

Ash Carter is a democrat at the national level. That statement really is the only thing that needs to be written. But this use of a personal email account by a cabinet member at this time is too cute by half. No one is fooled. It is cynical beyond basic norms of honesty and decency. But simple common sense says that Ash Carter, who took office just 10 months ago, knew what was up with Hillary. The facts also say the same. "The New York Times obtained emails that showed Carter using the private account, which led to an official...

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton would beat Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump and Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas in head-to-head match-ups but lose to Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida and retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson, according to a new poll. Mrs. Clinton led Mr. Trump by 10 points, 50 percent to 40 percent, according to the NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll.

Mr. Rubio,...

VIDEO AT SOURCE LINK Some may scoff at this notion, especially after Barack Obama's public assurance that Hillary Clinton's secret and unsecured private e-mail system had not compromised national security. Republicans pressed FBI Director James Comey to explain how Obama could be so certain of that conclusion. Comey, whose reputation as a straight arrow draws respect from both parties in Washington, replied that Obama has no way of knowing it: "Anybody's view about an investigation they're not involved in is irrelevant," Comey said, and promised that the White House would not influence the investigation. "We care about finding out what...

Newly released emails show that a senior Defense Department official offered the State Department "forces that could move to Benghazi” immediately during the deadly 2012 attack there on the American consulate. Jeremy Bash, the former Pentagon chief of staff, offered to provide forces at 7:19 p.m. on the evening of the attack, "only hours after they had begun " according to Judicial Watch, which disclosed the email on Tuesday. "We have identified the forces that could move to Benghazi. They are spinning up as we speak" Bash wrote. Portions of the email remain redacted by the Obama administration. "The Obama...

Two top Republican senators have written directly to Secretary of State John Kerry and Director of National Intelligence James Clapper about possible leaks from their departments on the review of Hillary Clinton’s emails that left the wrong impression that two “Top Secret” messages were not that sensitive. Fox News has confirmed the letter was sent by Senator Bob Corker, R-Tenn., who chairs the Foreign Relations Committee, and Sen. Richard Burr, R-N.C., who heads the powerful Intelligence Committee, on November 13. Copies were sent to the intelligence community and State Department watchdogs, known as the Inspectors General. The IGs were asked...

The Secretary of State arrived at meetings that had already been canceled. Problem was, nobody in the Obama White House bothered to tell her. Though holding what should be one of the most powerful positions within the U.S. government, it appears Mrs. Clinton was already an afterthought regarded with indifference by an Obama administration noted for its insulated secrecy and distrust of all enemies both past and present. -I heard on the radio there is a Cabinet meeting? Can I go?- The above is an actual quote according to just-released Hillary Clinton emails. They detail an uncertain, at times even...

Tonight Bernie Sanders reiterated that "I am still sick and tired of Hillary Clinton's e-mails" and urged the media to instead focus on the middle class -- to which Hillary Clinton added, "I agree completely." CBS Moderator John Dickerson, however, said other Democrats are still worried about "another shoe dropping" with the FBI investigation. In response, Clinton joked about the length of the Benghazi hearing and then hit Republicans on Planned Parenthood and global warming. Here's the key part of that exchange: DICKERSON: Secretary Clinton, just one more question on the e-mail question. For Democrats, there’s an F.B.I. investigation going...

While several of the firms are cooperating with an FBI investigation, they're stiff-arming the latest requests from the congressional GOP. Several companies that worked on Hillary Clinton’s private server are refusing interview and document requests from congressional investigators, even as they are cooperating with the FBI. Platte River Networks, the Denver-based tech company that housed Clinton's server after she left the State Department in 2013, has declined requests by the Senate Homeland Committee to interview five employees about the security of the system, according to correspondence reviewed by POLITICO. And Platte is blocking another tech company, Connecticut-based Datto Inc., from...

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton acted illegally or unethically by using a private email server to conduct government business, most Americans said in a new poll.

As Katie mentioned earlier, sources at the FBI are telling Fox News that the bureau has expanded its probe into Hillary Clinton's improper, national security-compromising email scheme. Earlier in the week, I cited Politico's report that investigators have "stepped up" their efforts by conducting additional interviews regarding internal State Department concerns over classified data security while Clinton was operating her unsecure private server.  Fox's scoop comes on the heels of their previous revelation that the probe was focusing on a "gross negligence" provision within the federal Espionage Act.  Additional evidence of Clinton's negligence was made public last week.  What this latest leak indicates is that the inquiry's scope now includes...

More than two-thirds of American voters say Hillary Clinton’s controversial email practices as secretary of state were either illegal or unethical, according to a new McClatchy-Marist poll. A total of 28 percent said Hillary’s exclusive use of a secret private server to conduct government business was illegal, while 40 percent said the arrangement was unethical, a position shared by 40 percent of Democratic voters. Only 27 percent of voters said they thought Clinton did nothing wrong, including a surprisingly low 49 percent of Democrats. The results are in line with previous polls suggesting that voters simply do not trust Hillary...

The FBI has expanded its probe of Hillary Clinton's emails, with agents exploring whether multiple statements violate a federal false statements statute, according to intelligence sources familiar with the ongoing case. Fox News is told agents are looking at U.S. Code 18, Section 1001, which pertains to "materially false" statements given either in writing, orally or through a third party. Violations also include pressuring a third party to conspire in a cover-up. Each felony violation is subject to five years in prison. This phase represents an expansion of the FBI probe, which is also exploring potential violations of an Espionage...
