Hillary Clinton's email scandal keeps getting worse. Here's the latest.

In early March, an investigation by the New York Times' Michael S. Schmidt found that Hillary Clinton exclusively used a personal email account during her time as Secretary of State. She didn't even set up an official address. She wasn't using Gmail, either; she was "homebrewing" her emails with a server that "traced back to an Internet service registered to her family's home in Chappaqua, New York," according to the AP.
As a result, records of her work-related email correspondence weren't appropriately kept while she was there, instead only being turned over last year. We have no way of verifying that they've been properly turned over now, except for Clinton's word. And it appears that other members of the administration were unaware this was going on. President Obama said he learned about her email practices at "the same time everybody else learned it, through news reports."
In a tweet, Clinton said she was calling for State to release those emails she had handed over.
