Clinton Aide Asked Secret Service Agent to Assist With Securing Hillary Email Server

Published November 1, 2016 7:46pm ET



A computer-related “theft of information” at the Clinton Foundation, confirmed by United States Secret Service personnel but so far denied by the Foundation, is prompting new questions about the Clintons’ use of public resources for Hillary Clinton’s private email server. The cyber crime committed against the Clinton Foundation’s servers was revealed in the recent release of FBI interview transcripts related to Hillary Clinton’s private emails.

As THE WEEKLY STANDARD reported in October, a Secret Service agent (whose name is redacted by the FBI) in Bill Clinton’s detail testified that “he… assisted the Clinton Foundation in a case related to theft of information on the Clinton Foundation Information systems.” According to an official at the Secret Service, the agency is statutorily charged with investigating computer-related fraud and has even assisted in bringing several international hackers to justice in recent years. The work done for the Foundation was carried out under this legislative mandate. A person at the Secret Service familiar with the Foundation incident confirmed this work was done during some period in 2010 or 2011.
