The FBI never asked top aides to Hillary Clinton to turn over all their electronic devices in the agency’s email probe, eventually obtaining two laptops from the former secretary of state’s attorneys, according to news reports.
“No one was asked for devices by the FBI,” a source told Politico.
The omission left the FBI with having to rely partially on what was turned over to the agency by attorneys for the aides in their investigation of Clinton’s private email server use.
Those documents were turned over to the State Department in response to the FBI’s request last year, Politico reports.
