WASHINGTON — Hillary Clinton and her team ignored clear guidance from the State Department that her email setup broke federal standards and could leave sensitive material vulnerable to hackers, a department audit has found. Separately from the State Department audit, the FBI has been investigating whether Clinton’s use of the private email server imperiled government secrets. The inspector general’s inquiry was prompted by revelations of Clinton’s email use, a subject that has dogged her presidential campaign. The State Department has released more than 52,000 pages of Clinton’s work-related emails, including some that have since been classified. “The inspector general documents just how consistent her email practices were with those of other secretaries and senior officials at the State Department who also used personal email,” Fallon said.
