Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Charles Grassley is pressing the Department of State Inspector General to open a new investigation of the use of a private email account and server by former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and members of her inner circle of advisers, particularly that of Huma Abedin.

Grassley is concerned that the private email allowed Clinton, Abedin and other high-ranking State Department officials to conduct official business without archiving them for government record-keeping purposes as required by federal laws and regulations.
