Obama one of 13 direct contacts in Clinton’s private email, report findings show<\/b>
\nFormer President Obama used the private email address for former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, according to the newly released Inspector General\u2019s report, revealing he lied over what he knew about her private server.
The findings officially suggest Obama misled the public over his ignorance of Clinton\u2019s email, who in the spring of 2015 said he only learned of her private email after the media began reporting on it .
From CBS last March:
\u201cCBS News senior White House correspondent Bill Plante asked Mr. Obama when he learned about her private email system after his Saturday appearance in Selma, Alabama.
\u201cThe same time everybody else learned it through news reports,\u201d the president told Plante.
But the Inspector General\u2019s report released Thursday reveal his comments were a lie.
\u201cFBI analysts and Prosecutor 2 told us that former President Barack Obama was one of the 13 individuals with whom Clinton had direct contact using her clintonemail.com account,\u201d the report says in a page 89 footnote .
\u201cObama, like other high-level government officials, used a pseudonym for his username on his official government email account.\u201d
\u201cA paragraph [in Comey\u2019s statement] summarizing the factors that led the FBI to assess that it was possible that hostile actors accessed Clinton\u2019s server was added, and at one point referenced Clinton\u2019s use of her private email for an exchange with then President Obama while in the territory of a foreign adversary,\u201d the report continues.
\u201cThis reference later was changed to \u2018another senior government official,\u2019 and ultimately was omitted.\u201d<\/p>\n
