Following the news that former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's persistent use of a personal email account while in office may have violated federal transparency rules, Gawker reports that at least two of Clinton's top staffers used personal accounts for official business as well.
This revelation casts doubt on a previous statement from the Clinton camp that, "Like Secretaries of State before her, [Clinton] used her own email account when engaging with any Department officials. For government business, she emailed them on their Department accounts, with every expectation they would be retained."
