State Department Intensifies Probe Into Hillary Clinton's Emails

The transcript discusses the investigation into emails sent to Hillary Clinton's private server by 130 officials, including ambassadors and assistant secretaries of state. The emails became a public issue during the 2016 presidential election. Clinton reportedly deleted 33,000 emails, raising concerns about sensitive information. The State Department began contacting officials 18 months ago, reclassifying some emails as classified. The investigation, which started at the end of the Obama administration, has been criticized as an abuse of power. Officials emphasize the focus is on the time required to review millions of emails, not political motives.
