The State Department concluded its probe into Hillary Clinton’s emails after a multi-year investigation and they determined that there was no “deliberate mishandling of classified information.” According to The Washington Post, the State Department concluded that there was no intentional misuse of Clinton’s private computer server, shutting down a controversial chapter in the former Secretary of State’s public service.
Donald Trump and other critics of Clinton pointed to the handling of the emails as evidence that the 2016 Democratic candidate for president was engaged in dishonest and harmful behavior. Trump awarded her with the moniker “Crooked Hillary” during the campaign. Clinton cited the controversy over the matter, amplified by then-FBI Director James Comey, as a major reason that she lost the race.
