State Department Official Accused of Pressuring to Declassify Clinton Email
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile, Republicans are calling for State Department official Patrick
Kennedy to resign after newly released FBI documents suggest he
pressured the agency last year to downgrade the classification of emails
found on Hillary Clinton's private server. According to the FBI
documents, Kennedy offered to allow the FBI to place more agents in Iraq
in exchange for declassifying the emails. The FBI and the State
Department have denied that a quid pro quo ever existed.
