Inspector general’s report lists her misstatements of key facts

st. louis» Over the months, Hillary Clinton misstated key facts about her use of private e-mail and her own server for her work as secretary of state, the department’s inspector general reported this week.

A look at some of Clinton’s past claims about her unusual e-mail set-up and how they compare with the inspector general’s findings:

CLINTON: “The system we used was set up for President (Bill) Clinton’s office. And it had numerous safeguards. It was on property guarded by the Secret Service. And there were no security breaches.” — March 2015 news conference.

THE REPORT: Evidence emerged of hacking attempts, although it’s unclear whether they were successful.

On Jan. 9, 2011, an adviser to former President Clinton notified the State Department’s deputy chief of staff for operations that he had to shut down the server because he suspected “someone was trying to hack us, and while they did not get in, I didn’t want to let them have the chance to.”

Later that day, he sent another note. “We were attacked again so I shut (the server) down for a few min.”

California is, in fact, in the midst of a drought. Last year capped the state’s driest four-year period in its history, with record low rainfall and snow.

Speaking at a rally in Fresno, Calif., Trump accused state officials of denying water to Central Valley farmers so they can send it out to sea “to protect a certain kind of three-inch fish.”

“We’re going to solve your water problem. You have a water problem that is so insane. It is so ridiculous where they’re taking the water and shoving it out to sea,” Trump said at a rally. The Associated Press

with a suspicious link, the new audit report said.

CLINTON: “What I did was allowed. It was allowed by the State Department. The State Department has confirmed that.” — Interview with The Associated Press, September.

THE REPORT: “No evidence” that Clinton asked for or received approval to conduct official government business on a personal e-mail account run through a private server in her New York home. According to top State Department officials interviewed for the investigation, the departments that oversee security “did not — and would not — approve” her use of a personal account because of security concerns.

Clinton has changed her account since the report came out. On Thursday, she told CNN, “I thought it was allowed.”

CLINTON: “It was fully above board. Everybody in the government with whom I e-mailed knew that I was using a personal e-mail.” — AP interview, September.

THE REPORT: According to the findings, it’s unclear how widespread knowledge was about Clinton’s personal account.
