Hillary Clinton’s personal email server, now in possession of the Justice Department, contains no data from her time as secretary of state.
The emails it once contained were shifted onto a different server in June 2013 after Clinton tapped a Denver company to manage the system, according to a report from the Washington Post.
Platte River Networks assumed responsibility for the controversial email network after Clinton left her State Department post in 2013. The FBI visited Platte River’s offices last week as part of its investigation into the arrangement.
The technology firm transferred the server Clinton had used to host government communications from the basement of her Chappaqua, N.Y., home to a data center in New Jersey, where the FBI ultimately acquired the now-blank server late Wednesday afternoon.
Investigators also confiscated a thumb drive containing all of Clinton’s work-related emails, some of which are now known to be classified.
Although Clinton has repeatedly insisted none of the emails she sent or received were classified at the time, the intelligence community inspector general informed Congress Tuesday it had uncovered evidence that at least two emails among a small sample contained classified intelligence “when originated.”
The revelation that some of the emails on Clinton’s server should have been marked “top secret” — the highest level of classification in government — coincided with the FBI’s decision to take control of the server, raising questions about whether the presidential candidate and her attorney were forced to hand over the server and thumb drive.
An attorney for Platte River Networks did not immediately return a request for comment.
