State Department official sought FBI declassification of Clinton email

.

Published on Oct 17, 2016According to summaries of interviews with FBI officials released by the FBI on Monday, a senior official at the U.S. State Department urged the Federal Bureau of Investigation in 2015 to drop its insistence that an email from Hillary Clinton's private server contained classified information. 

The information in that particular email originated from the FBI, meaning the FBI made the final decision on whether it remained classified.

 Clinton, the Democratic candidate for the presidential election, has faced continuous criticism from Republicans over her use of an unauthorized server for her job as Secretary of State. Clinton has apologized for using the server, which she kept in the basement of her New York home, saying it was a mistake and she never sent or received classified information through her server.
