There are numerous controversies a Hillary Rodham Clinton used personal email accounts on a non-government, privately maintained email server[1]—in lieu of official government email accounts, maintained on Federal government servers secured by the government—when conducting official business during her tenure as United States Secretary of State. Officials from the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) and some members of Congress have contended that her use of that private messaging system violated State Department protocols and procedures, and Federal laws and regulations governing recordkeeping requirements.[2][3] Many of the emails in question are being made public on a gradual schedule, as the matter is being investigated by the United States House Select Committee on Benghazi, the U.S. Department of Justice, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).[4]

On July 9, 2015, Clinton responded to these accusations by stating that everything she did was permitted, and not in violation of any laws or regulations.[5] On August 11, 2015, Clinton agreed to turn over her personal email server to the Department of Justice, as well as thumb drives containing copies of her e-mails,[6][7] after the FBI opened an investigation at the request of the United States Intelligence Community's inspector general that they look into whether classified information could be compromised because it was sent over unsecured networks and may remain on Clinton's private server.[8] The inspector general's referral was a "counterintelligence referral", not a "criminal referral", over concerns that classified information could be compromised, not that any crimes may have been committed, a spokeswoman for the Intelligence Community's IG stated.[8]
Some of the commentary on the email case occurred in the context of Clinton's 2016 presidential campaign.[9] In a statement from Clinton's campaign responding to investigations into the email matter and the Justice Department's request that the private server be turned over to the FBI, Clinton's campaign communications director Jennifer Palmieri wrote: "Look, this kind of nonsense comes with the territory of running for president. We know it, Hillary knows it, and we expect it to continue from now until Election Day."[10]
