Several dozen emails discovered on Hillary Clinton's unsecured private email server contained classified information, according to a U.S. intelligence official.
An unclassified letter from Inspector General of the Intelligence Community Charles McCullough to members of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee was obtained Tuesday by media outlets including Fox News.
In the Jan. 14 letter, McCullough told Senators Bob Corker and Richard Burr that based on sworn declarations from intelligence personnel that "several dozen" emails had been identified that contained confidential, secret, or top secret/SAP information. SAP, or "special access program," information is sometimes referred to as above top secret — it may only be obtained by select individuals, regardless of their security clearance.
"These declarations cover several dozen emails containing classified information determined by the [intelligence community] element to be at the confidential, secret and top secret/sap levels," McCullough said.
A Clinton spokesperson did not immediately provide comment on the matter.
In August, federal officials said two of Clinton's emails contained information "up to top secret." A State Department spokesperson at the time said the emails had been forwarded to Clinton, and they were not marked as classified.
