Wilson Statement on FBI Investigation of Secretary Clinton

July 5, 2016

Congressman Joe Wilson (SC-02) made the following statement following FBI Director James Comey’s recommendation not to bring charges against former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton:

“Today, FBI Director James Comey identified that Secretary Hillary Clinton was ‘extremely careless’ with her use of a private email server during her time as Secretary of State. The investigation was telling—over one hundred classified emails were found on her server, despite her repeated statements that she never sent classified information. Additionally, the FBI couldn’t rule out that her server could have been hacked, endangering lives and putting American families at risk.

“Secretary Clinton’s actions were remarkably reckless and displayed a lack of judgement.”
