China Hacked Hillary’s Email Server, FBI Denies

The FBI has quickly denied reports that a Chinese company hacked Hillary Clinton’s private email server. Fox News picked up <a href="http://dailycaller.com/2018/08/27/china-hacked-clinton-server/">the original report</a> from the Daily Caller.

An FBI spokesman told NBC News, "The FBI has not found any evidence the (Clinton) servers were compromised.” He cited a July report from the Department of Justice's inspector general which reviewed the FBI investigation of Clinton's use of a private email server.

Flashback: NBC reported the following two years ago:

A forensic analyst is quoted in the inspector general's report as telling Department of Justice investigators he was "fairly confident" Clinton's personal server had not been compromised.

The Daily Caller reported the Chinese hacking of Clinton’s server on Monday. President Trump responded today via Twitter:

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Report just out: “China hacked Hillary Clinton’s private Email Server.” Are they sure it wasn’t Russia (just kidding!)? What are the odds that the FBI and DOJ are right on top of this? Actually, a very big story. Much classified information!</p>&mdash; Donald J.

Trump also tweeted:

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Hillary Clinton’s Emails, many of which are Classified Information, got hacked by China. Next move better be by the FBI &amp; DOJ or, after all of their other missteps (Comey, McCabe, Strzok, Page, Ohr, FISA, Dirty Dossier etc.), their credibility will be forever gone!</p>&mdash; Donald J.

Clinton's private email server was a contentious issue in her bid for president in 2016. She became the subject of a high-profile FBI investigation spearheaded by the agency's former director, James Comey.

The FBI eventually cleared Clinton of wrongdoing but described her handling of official emails on private accounts "extremely careless."

Comey was fired and wrote a book.
