The FBI said Wednesday that it has no evidence Hillary Clinton’s private email server was compromised even though President Trump tweeted a news report that alleged the Chinese had hacked it.
Mr. Trump tweeted Tuesday evening about a report in the conservative Daily Caller that said a Chinese-owned company operating in the Washington area had hacked the server Clinton had used as secretary of state and obtained nearly all of her emails.
An FBI official said Wednesday after the Daily Caller story and the president’s tweet that the “FBI has not found any evidence the servers were compromised.”
Mr. Trump tweeted about the claim Tuesday.
“Report just out: ‘China hacked Hillary Clinton’s private Email Server.’ Are they sure it wasn’t Russia (just kidding!)? What are the odds that the FBI and DOJ are right on top of this? Actually, a very big story. Much classified information!” the president tweeted.
