The investigation of Hillary Clinton is reportedly centered around e-mail exchanges about CIA drone strikes.
Citing “congressional and law-enforcement officials briefed on the Federal Bureau of Investigation probe,” The Wall Street Journal reports that classified information was shared in a series of emails about drone strikes in Pakistan.
The 2011 and 2012 e-mails involved a secret arrangement that allowed the State Department to oppose specific drone strikes.
Some of the email exchanges were made on less-secure networks, also known as the “low side.”
The Wall Street Journal wrote:
The CIA drone campaign, though widely reported in Pakistan, is treated as secret by the U.S. government. Under strict U.S. classification rules, U.S. officials have been barred from discussing strikes publicly and even privately outside of secure communications systems. The State Department said in January that 22 emails on Mrs. Clinton’s personal server at her home have been judged to contain top-secret information and aren’t being publicly released. Many of them dealt with whether diplomats concurred or not with the CIA drone strikes, congressional and law-enforcement officials said.
