FBI Director James Comey said Thursday that Hillary Clinton’s personal server network exposed classified information to people who did not have the security clearances to access that material.
“There’s no doubt that uncleared people had access to the server,” Comey said during a congressional hearing.
While he did not provide an exact number of individuals, he said between two and 10 people with no authority to handle classified information were able to look at classified documents on Clinton’s server.
“There’s a great deal of concern” about people without security clearances to have access to classified documents, Comey said.
The exposure occurred when personal attorneys for Clinton were tasked with sifting through the former secretary of state’s emails to select the records that Clinton would turn over to the State Department.
“Did Hillary Clinton give non-cleared people access to classified information?” asked Rep. Jason Chaffetz, chairman of the House Oversight Committee.
“Yes,” Comey said.
A spokesman for Clinton’s campaign did not return a request for comment as to whether any of her attorneys had security clearances.
