WASHINGTON (AP) – A U.S. official says the FBI has taken possession of Hillary Rodham Clinton’s emails, a few of which have been deemed to contain classified information.
The official is not authorized to be quoted by name and requested anonymity.
The official says the FBI recovered two thumb drives containing the emails from Clinton’s lawyer, David Kendall.
Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley says two of the emails, which traversed Clinton’s insecure home email server, were deemed “Top Secret, Sensitive Compartmented Information.” That’s one of the government’s highest classifications.
Clinton is the front-runner for the Democratic nomination for president. She has faced criticism over her use of a private email address and home server while secretary of state.
