Hillary Rodham Clinton will turn over the personal email server she used while serving as secretary of state to the Justice Department, her campaign spokesman said Tuesday.

The decision advances the investigation into the Democratic presidential front-runner's use of a private email account as the nation's top diplomat, and whether classified information was improperly stored on her home-brew email server.

Clinton had previously refused demands from Republican critics to turn over the server to a third party.

...

Word that Clinton had relented on giving up possession of the server, which she has previously said she wiped clean, came as Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley of Iowa said two emails that traversed Clinton's personal system were deemed "Top Secret, Sensitive Compartmented Information" — a rating that is among the government's highest classifications.

Grassley said the inspector general of the nation's intelligence community had reported the new details about the higher classification to Congress on Tuesday.

Those two emails were among four that had previously been determined by the inspector general of the intelligence community to have been classified at the time they were sent. The State Department disputes that the emails were classified at that time.

AUGUSTA, Maine — In the latest in a series of handwritten messages, Maine’s Republican Gov. Paul LePage denies he’s among a group of plaintiffs suing President Barack Obama.

“I believe you mistake me for someone else,” LePage wrote in his note to Murshed Zaheed, an activist with the group CREDO Action. “I do not have a lawsuit against President Obama. I did file a lawsuit against illegal immigrants taking state money against state and federal laws.”

The latest note from LePage surfaced after Murshed posted it with a copy of Murshed’s handwritten note back to LePage pointing out that the suit in question doesn’t name illegal immigrants as a defendant, either.

“Though I realize you’ve been very busy with a lawsuit by House Speaker Mark Eves, legislative investigations, and possible impeachment, I was still surprised to learn that you are unaware of the lawsuit you filed on Dec. 9, 2014,” Murshed wrote.

LePage is correct, in that the suit in which he is a plaintiff with the governors of Mississippi, North Carolina and Idaho does not name Obama as a defendant but does name other officials within the Obama administration, as well as the U.S. government.
