(77WABC) — Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton faced backlash on the internet for claiming investigations proved she had no classified emails on her private server.
Clinton took to Twitter in a lengthy thread to call out comparisons that have been made between her past email scandal and the ongoing FBI investigation into former President Trump for allegedly keeping classified documents.
I can’t believe we’re still talking about this, but my emails…
As Trump’s problems continue to mount, the right is trying to make this about me again. There’s even a “Clinton Standard."
The fact is that I had zero emails that were classified.

Several Twitter users attacked this thread as “astonishingly false” for ignoring a 2018 Department of Justice inspector general’s report that revealed “81 email chains containing approximately 193 individual emails” were “classified from the CONFIDENTIAL to TOP SECRET levels at the time.”
Media outlets have also attempted to defend Clinton from comparisons to Trump’s FBI investigation.
