U.S. presidential candidate Hillary Clinton said on Saturday that she did not use a private email account to send or receive classified information while she was secretary of state, in response to a government inspector's letter this week.
"I did not send nor receive anything that was classified at the time," Clinton said at a campaign stop in Iowa.
The email controversy has dogged Clinton's bid for the presidency, fuelling worries that the frontrunner for the Democratic nomination has tried to sidestep transparency and record-keeping laws.
At least four emails from the private email account that Clinton used while secretary of state contained classified information, Inspector General Charles McCullough, who oversees U.S. intelligence agencies, told members of Congress in a letter on Thursday.
Clinton said on Saturday she had "no idea" what were the emails mentioned in the letter.
McCullough's letter said a sampling of 40 of about 30,000 emails sent or received by Clinton found at least four that contained information the government had classified as secret.
The information was classified at the time that the emails were sent, McCullough said.
The use of her private email account, linked to a server in her New York home for work, has drawn fire from political opponents since coming to light in March.
Republicans have accused Clinton of trying to avoid disclosure laws through her use of private systems.
The frontrunner to represent the Democratic Party in the November 2016 election, Clinton has repeatedly said she broke no laws or rules by eschewing a standard government email account.
While Clinton faces little competition for the Democratic Party's nomination, several recent polls have found a majority of voters find her untrustworthy, a perception potentially exacerbated by controversy over her emails.

This is such a BS defense. If you are using a communications system outside channels, how can any of the content ever BE classified? Some of her content has been classified "after the fact" which is a very strong case for it being classified "at the time", had it ever had the chance to move through the system. Although I would hope that "that woman" (attempting to be civil) received some training in OPSEC for her position as SECSTATE, she is by no means the ultimate arbiter of what is classified and what is not. I believe her sidestepping the system should be an indictable offense. I hope Trey Gowdy holds her feet to the fire.

I think they just found 4 emails with information on her personal email accounts that was classified at the time and remain classified today. That was out of a sampling of less then 50 emails reviewed. It appears she has lied again. The Clintons have made a career out of looking directly into the camera and lying to us then backing it up later, slowly, and the media complies.
