The nine-page unclassified report, completed last month and shared with Congress this week, appears to bookend a controversy that dogged Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign against Donald Trump. State Department investigators reviewed thousands of pages of documents, sent from 2009 to 2013, when Clinton served in the Obama administration. The emails were on subjects that were not considered classified at the time, but that have been or were retroactively marked as classified. It is unclear whether any of the 38 officials the report found culpable of violating security procedures still work at the State Department. Not included in the review were emails deleted by Clinton after her lawyers advised that they were private and not related to official business.
