Clinton Will Turn Over Private Email Server

August 11, 2015 · 10:11 pm ET · 80 Comments

“A spokesman for Mrs. Clinton’s presidential campaign said Tuesday that she had directed her team to give to the Justice Department both the computer server — which had been kept at her home in Chappaqua, N.Y. — and a thumb drive containing copies of her emails.”
