Hillary Clinton accused of breaking email rule at State Department

Hillary Clinton exclusively used a personal email account to conduct government business as secretary of state, State Department officials said, and may have violated federal requirements that officials’ correspondence be retained as part of the agency’s record.

The Federal Records Act requires government emails to be preserved on department servers, according to the New York Times.
