State Dept. could sanction former officials over Clinton emails

The State Department said Wednesday that former department officials involved in the mishandling of classified information under then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton could be denied future security clearances in the federal government.

Spokesman John Kirby told reporters that the State Department will allow the FBI to finish its investigation before it takes any step on its own related to the officials involved. The FBI said Tuesday that it would not recommend criminal charges against Clinton herself.
