The National Archives said it had recovered government documents at Mar-a-Lago, containing some marked as classified national security. The presence of information with classification markings in Hillary Clinton’s emails was less obvious.
said she showed a "fundamental lack of judgment and wanton disregard" for matters of national security.. Broadly, it said classified information had been improperly transmitted, but carelessness, not an intent to skirt the law, was the cause. The issue began to fade, but it resurfaced at the end of October 2016, right before the election. Many believe that in a razor-thin election, that timing torpedoed her campaign.
"White House staff were attempting to tape them back together," Ferriero told the House committee. "Although White House staff during the Trump administration recovered and taped together some of the torn-up records, a number of other torn-up records that were transferred had not been reconstructed by the White House."
In three instances, email chains included information with classification markers. It was never clear that Clinton was aware of the presence of that marked information, or if the classification marking was clear. Clinton’s emails included moments when staffers wrote that for them to go into more detail, they would need to switch to a secure classified State Department system.
