Hillary Clinton will give the Justice Department the personal email server she used during her time as secretary of state, her campaign spokesman said Tuesday.

Clinton has "pledged to cooperate with the government's security inquiry, and if there are more questions, we will continue to address them," Nick Merrill said. Clinton also turned over three thumb drives on Tuesday to the Justice Department with copies of 30,000 emails sent to and from her personal email on the server, The Associated Press reports. The move will advance the investigation into the Democratic presidential candidate's use of a private email account while serving as secretary of state and if classified documents were improperly stored on the server.
