A newly declassified report contains an apparent discrepancy in what then-FBI Director James Comey said in 2016 about the number of classified documents contained on Hillary Clinton’s unsecured email server dating back to when she led the State Department.
It was a major moment in the 2016 presidential campaign cycle when Comey announced that he would be recommending that the Department of Justice not charge Clinton, the unsuccessful Democratic nominee, with any crimes.
Republicans in Congress had been looking into possible corruption related to Clinton’s time at the State Department and the granting of preferences to the Clinton Foundation, as well as her leadership during the 2012 attack on the U.S consulate in Benghazi, Libya, that left the U.S. ambassador and three others dead.
