*Feinstein Statement on Clinton Emails*

            *Washington*—Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) today released
the following statement in response to allegations regarding former
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s emails:

*            “There has been a lot of press coverage recently of
allegations regarding Secretary Clinton’s email. Unfortunately, much of the
coverage has missed key points.*

*            “First, none of the emails alleged to contain classified
information were written by Secretary Clinton. *

*            “The questions are whether she received emails with classified
information in them, and if so, whether information in those emails should
have been classified in the first place. Those questions have yet to be
answered. However, it is clear that Secretary Clinton did not write emails
containing classified information. *

*            “Second, none of the emails alleged to contain classified
information include any markings that indicate classified content. *

*            “As someone who regularly reviews classified material, I can
say that those documents are always clearly marked as containing classified
information. Every official who writes classified material, whether in
email or on paper, must mark the information as classified. They would also
be required to use a separate classified email system to transmit the
information. The emails identified did not contain these markings.*

*            “I understand the State Department Inspector General is
conducting a broader review of the email practices of the past five
Secretaries of State and their senior staff, and I will review those
findings when they are completed.”*
