Clinton Confirms Emails on Private Server were Classified 
----------------------------------------------------------


 
Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton's campaign has
confirmed emails on the private server she used while she was secretary
of state contain material that is now classified. Clinton has repeatedly
said she did not receive material marked classified. Her campaign says
the material was classified retroactively, making Clinton the "passive
recipient of unwitting information that subsequently became deemed as
classified." Meanwhile, a newly publicized letter from Clinton's
attorney confirms her emails and all other data on her computer server
were wiped clean before it was handed over to federal officials.
