State downplays new Clinton email: 'Lowest level of classification'

Secretary of State John Kerry’s spokesman downplayed Wednesday’s news that Hillary Clinton emailed classified information after leaving her post at the State Department, by noting that the message was redacted at the “lowest level of classification.”

“This information was redacted for release according to the Freedom of Information Act, which is our responsibility, and it was classified at the confidential level, which as you know is the lowest level of security classification,” spokesman John Kirby told reporters.
