Second tech company cooperating with FBI on Clinton emails

WASHINGTON, Oct. 7 (UPI) — The FBI probe into Hillary Clinton’s email scandal has been expanded to include a second private technology company, which said it is fully cooperating with authorities.

Datto, Inc., based in Connecticut, was approached by the FBI in September. Investigators asked the company to preserve all data they had in relation to former Secretary of State Clinton, The Washington Post reported.

Datto, Inc. was hired to assist backing up data in 2013 by Platte River Networks, the technology company based in Colorado that managed Clinton’s private email server.

Since Datto was hired after Clinton concluded her term as state secretary, it is unclear if the information it has in possession are Clinton’s personal and work-related emails while she was secretary, or new emails after she left the position, Fox News reported.

This new revelation is the latest in ongoing concerns over Clinton’s use of a private email server during her term as a member of President Obama’s Cabinet. Critics have said using a private server potentially compromised classified information.

Clinton released scores of emails in recent months in response to the criticism and a Congressional committee investigation.

The Democratic front-runner has apologized for using her private server during her time as state secretary.
