Email scandal may land ex-US secretary of state Hillary Clinton in jail, claim experts

Former US Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, who admitted to have kept secret email address during her tenure, could face up to three years in jail if she is found to have handled classified information on the secret account, according to experts.

According to Washington Post, one open records expert revealed that Mrs. Clinton could face up to three years in prison per message if she is found to have broken her word and handled classified information on the secret account.

A federal lawsuit has reportedly been filed, claiming that the State Department has caused obstruction to five years’ worth of requests for Mrs. Clinton’s emails.

The lawsuit further stated the court was never informed of her secret server, meaning that her emails weren’t being searched. (ANI)
