Document attached, 2016 highlights below:

*CBS' Evening News: *Reported that there was classified information on
HRC's private emails; the matter has now been turned over to the FBI; HRC,
at her campaign event, denied any wrongdoing; the inspector general wrote
to Congress saying that there are potentially hundreds of classified emails
on the server; HRC said that no emails were classified at the time they
were sent; the inspector general did say today that no emails were
classified at the time that HRC sent them, but did in fact contain
classified information when they were generated; DOJ has not said if they
are going to investigate.

*ABC's World News Tonight: *Coverage of HRC emails. Jonathan Karl reports
HRC ignored questions about calls for the FBI to investigate the handling
of classified information on the private e-mail account she used as
secretary of state. Says HRC has been emphatic in her denials. Shows clip
of HRC saying there was no classified information in her emails. Says
internal investigators for the intelligence community say at least four of
HRC’s e-mails and potentially hundreds more included classified national
security information at the time they were sent. Shows clip of HRC saying
she has said repeatedly that she will answer questions before the house
committee and we are all accountable to the American people to get the
facts right. Karl says investigators have not suggested anything criminal
and have not called on the FBI to investigate HRC herself. Says what
they're most worried about is that there is still classified information
out there, some of it on a thumb drive in the office of HRC’s private
attorney.

*NBC's Nightly News: *Lester Holt reported on HRC’s email controversy.
Justice Department is considering a request on whether or not classified
information was relied in her private email account.  Kristen Welker
claimed that HRC was downplaying the email scandal. HRC dodged the issue at
hand. Inspectors general requested the inquiry because they were concerned
that there were a number of emails that were classified. HRC’s campaign
reacted by claiming that HRC’s campaign claimed that the emails were
categorized as classified after they had been sent out, not before. Chuck
Todd claimed that HRC dodged a bullet legally, but that this issue would
bite the campaign politically throughout the presidential race.
Kelly O’Donnell reported on Ted Cruz accusing Mitch McConnell of lying.

had opposed. Cruz claimed that he lied to Republican senators and to the
press. McConnell has not responded.
