The Justice Department has received a referral to open a criminal
investigation into whether government information was mishandled in
connection with the personal email account that Hillary Clinton used as
Secretary of State, NBC News confirms.
The request, first reported by the New York Times,
was made by inspectors general for the State Department and the Office
of the Director of National Intelligence combing through Clinton's
private emails.
They made the request after finding potentially
hundreds of classified emails among a small sample of some 55,000 pages
of emails contained on Clinton's private email server, which was located
inside her New York home.
The Justice Department has not yet decided whether it would open an investigation, the source said.
The State Department declined to comment on the request.
