A week after the Washington Post reported that the FBI was looking into the security of Hillary Clinton’s private email server, the Democrat front-runner’s spokesman has announced that Clinton will graciously turn over her email server along with a thumb drive containing all of the emails on it.
NBC's Pete Williams reports that Hillary Clinton has turned over her e-mails on a thumb drive to the FBI.

@ABCLiz @NickMerrill @verumserum Three questions: where has that server been stored? Does it still have the original hard drives? Backups?

@ABCLiz @verumserum Hey @NickMerrill why did Clinton's lawyer testify in congress that nothing was left on the server if info was?

As the Associated Press reports, two of the emails turned over by Clinton have been upgraded to top secret status. In March, Clinton had insisted, “There is no classified material. So I’m certainly well aware of the classification requirements and did not send classified material.”
