Clinton Reiterates Stance
Just hours after meeting with FBI investigators in Washington on July 2, Clinton stuck to her oft-repeated version of events.
"Let me just repeat what I have repeated for many months now," she said in the interview on "Meet the Press." "I never received nor sent any material that was marked classified, and there is a process for the review of material before it is released to the public, and there were decisions made that material should be classified. I do call that retroactively classifying."
What the FBI Investigation Found
Clinton is only partially right: There were certain documents and emails that were made classified after being sent — which Comey referred to as being "up-classified." There were about 2,000 cases of that.
But there were also 110 emails that Comey described as being classified at the time they were sent. Moreover, Clinton appeared to contradict her claims of never having sent anything marked classified. Comey indicated that there was "a very small number of the emails... [that] bore markings that indicated the presence of classified information."
