House Intel chair: ‘Highly probable’ that ‘many countries’ accessed Clinton’s server

House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes (R-Calif.) said there’s a good chance many countries gained access to Hillary Clinton’s email server while she was secretary of State.

“It’s highly probable if you set up a server on the outside and you are a high-ranking government official, especially the secretary of State, that many countries got into that server,” Nunes said in an interview on Hill.TV’s “Rising” that aired Thursday.

“So, do I have specifics? No, but if I had to bet money, I would have said this back when we were looking for the 33,000 emails,” he added.

Clinton’s private email server has long been a target for Republicans.

Former Trump campaign adviser George Papadopoulos, who was the first guilty plea in special counsel Robert Mueller’s probe into Russian election meddling, admitted to lying to the FBI about contact with Russian agents who offered the Trump campaign “thousands” of damaging emails about Clinton.
