George's Reads
As impeachment proceedings against President Donald Trump begin to ramp up, the State Department is dredging up its investigation into a subject that dominated the news during the 2016 election: former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's emails.
An FBI investigation previously condemned Clinton's use of a private email server for State Department business during the Obama era, but assured that her activity wasn't criminal.
Nevertheless, Trump—whose promises to imprison Clinton were a mainstay of his 2016 presidential campaign—has maintained that Clinton committed a crime by deleting 33,000 emails before turning the contents of her server over to the FBI. Now Trump is using the State Department to deepen the probe into the email saga.
Clinton, who recently announced her support for Trump's impeachment, called the President a "corrupt human tornado."

2020 Presidential candidate and Democratic Senator from California, Kamala Harris, defended Clinton on Twitter, assuring that she'd served her country loyally every step of the way.
