WaPo: State Department steps up email probe of dozens of former Clinton aides

President Donald Trump's administration is investigating the emails of dozens of current and former senior State Department officials who sent emails to then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's private email, The Washington Post reported.

Current and former officials tell the Post that as many as 130 officials have been contacted in recent weeks by investigators at the State Department. Those targeted, including senior officials as well as others in lower-level jobs, have been notified that emails they sent years ago have been retroactively classified and now are potential security violations, according to letters reviewed by the Washington Post.

CNN's Frederika Whitfield discusses the probe with Washington Post reporter Karoun Demirjian.

    1. @Columbo the true Patriot awe you mad because nobody respects or believes the fake news media except for you imbeciles

    2. @Michael Morton LOL. Mueller didn’t even speak with Don Jr who confirmed he had the meeting with a Putin lawyer and didn’t bother speaking with Trump himself either. When someone’s being investigated and the investigator doesn’t even talk with the person accused or the main lead, that’s going pretty easy. Don Jr SHOULD be in prison right now for his crimes, but due to Mueller going remarkably soft on the Trumps giving the excuse that he didn’t think Jr knew what he was doing was illegal (which is never an excuse anyone else can use), he is free and Sr learned nothing saying in an interview he was open to accepting dirt on political opponents from foreign governments and seems to have pursued it since.

    1. @Muhammad was a pedophile caravan robber Trump: Ukraine please help with some dirt on Biden because I can’t win without foreign influence, cheating, or distracting with fake Biden corruption and blaming liberals, minorities and the media for them pointing out my failures isn’t working any more! 😭Waaaaah😭

    2. Dental Lab you triggered, sounds like you’re triggered, need a safe place because some one is critiquing trump. Just yell Obama three times and you’ll be fine.

    3. Mockery Channel:
      Making your parents proud, I see. Whoever you are, you computer keyboard warrior, you are an idiot. Grow up. Get a life. Go do something useful with it.

    1. @kale n Polls are pretty inaccurate nowadays most of them don’t even poll they use polling as a technique to get more sheep to follow them. It’s all part of a mass propaganda campaign which is why big tech is limiting voices and making it harder to find them online.

      In this Age of Misinformation you can’t believe what you see or hear.
      It’s easy to make this class wars race wars partisan wars nation wars and that what they want from you as they take away more and more of your rights daily.

    2. @dragon63730 you do your own research and use your common sense. Common sense tells you Trump held up aid in exchange for a “favor” if Obama did this crap you and your Republican cronies would be calling for his resignation don’t pretend like you wouldn’t.

    3. @WS P No one in their right minds thinks that Rudy should be going on TV to try and help Trump he is failing miserably I almost feel sorry for Trump that he has such a stupid lawyer. It’s not just TV stations saying he shouldn’t be booked. Hell they still book him they love to see him fail miserably it pumps up their ratings. Your simply too oblivious to see it. As for the muller report and “possible” that is a legal term that they have to use. Since you can’t indite a sitting president. However giving a letter to your former campaign director to deliver to your recused attorney general. That tells him an announcement he is supposed to give word for word is Clearly obstruction. I sure find it funny that Corey Lewandowski suddenly can’t deliver the letter because he has a sudden emergency vacation when his family and pawns it off on someone else to deliver. That person also failed to deliver the letter became he knew it was wrong. Sounds alot like fox news opinion anchors like Tucker Carlson and Laura Ingraham taking sudden vacations when they say something stupid. Use your common sense. This whole thing is fishy as hell.

    4. @WS P Also I couldn’t have cared less about politics until Trump got in office. I’m a gamer I’m not “left” or “right”. I simply know right from wrong. I know when democracy is threatened from someone like Trump that likes the idea of “president for life”.

    1. Americans need to learn to stop pointing your fingers at everyone else and look in the effing mirror. Because the problems you Americans are having starts right there.

      This is what you get for having such a vastly uninformed and willfully ignorant populace of selfish and entitled morons.

    2. @Jon Coda pay close attention to the Demonrats moving the goal post😂THAT’S what THEY do😂they ARE doing it NOW😂that poor ol goal post has been all over the place the last 3 YEARS😂

    1. Turnible Spencer, yeah, Hillary, Pelosi, Nadler, Schiff, and the DNC love to project. Whatever the Commiecrats are accusing you of they are 100% doing it themselves like for instance obstructing justice, colluding with Russia, Joe Biden’s blackmailing of the Ukraine, Adam Schiff on tape accepting dirt on President Trump who he thought was someone from Russia, turns out it was a Russian comedian. And the three democrat congressmen who sent a letter blackmailing the Ukraine. Yup, the democrats love to project.

    2. Look how long it took Trump to get over Birtherism…….. he needs something to gaslight us since she isn’t running and Biden Ukraine issue backfired

  1. Cool. Let’s nail everybody that is corrupt in Washington. Start over if we have to. If they are corrupt, we should know. Doesn’t matter what side. Line them all up and look into them. We need to find out who is working for us, the people, not their own interests or the interests of others.

    1. Clean out the senate and take away there lifetime salary. Senate should be a 4 to 8 year term like the presidency. They have waaay to much power for waaay too long and they get lax and greedy the longer there fat old asses are sitting in those chairs, making decisions, not for the people but for there own interests.

    2. this is the entire notion of whats going on now its not about left or right its about right vs wrong….there are people on both sides as part of this you think John mc stain was a hero he was a criminal who was part of this entire thing with clinton and the Bidens its all coming out the swamp is draining. stay the course its going to get worse you will get angrier

    1. @cj p the investigation wasnt going anywhere with Hunter, along with other investigations, which is why Western countries wanted that prosecutor removed. Hunter quit the firm during the 1st prosecutor. New prosecutor came in, investigated and closed the case. Y’all mad at the media and left. Be mad at the fool, who once again tried to use a foreign country to interfere with our elections. He’s on tape. And they actually believed ppl would believe their spin, on words we can hear…..and they seem to be right. Sarah Sanders quit right after the ABC interview with Stephponopolis, why? Because trump admitted he would engage in something illegal, for the world to see. He constantly puts his foot in his mouth. He’s ur issue

    2. @Greg B “once again used foreign interference”?
      You bullshit artist. He never did that the first time. Mueller report even said “no evidence of collusion”. And your just spouting off the same bullshit talking points I’ve heard already…”the western world wanted this prosecutor out”? You can’t even explain that can you? And your the fifth person who has said that to me.
      Why would hunter give up a gravy salary he was unqualified for if there was nothing wrong?

      I don’t have the patients to go into left wing media lies with you right now. The list is endless. You people lie your asses off about Trump daily. I bet your still waiting on the Omarosa tapes to come out.
      Not to mention the ridiculous bs Hillary was given a pass on. REAL OBSTRUCTION.
      She wanted her activity to be untouched by the freedom of information act. And you would defend that action? Spare me.

    3. @Greg B whoa. Your trying to tell me that Joe Biden got the foreign prosecutor fired because the investigation agaist “Hunter”, Bidens son, wasnt going anywhere.OMFG,what kind of foolish bullshit nonsense is that?

    1. And see? Thats bullshit right there. Not that you’re afraid, but that you’ve been MADE to feel afraid to say what you want. We live in a time where people are in fear for expressing themselves for being “on the wrong side”. And that is complete bullshit.

  2. So do we have a deep state or not? Now he’s asking the deep state for help. 🤯 I have whiplash trying to keep up with what is true and real with this Dumpster fire administration.
