The head of the FBI on Tuesday refused to rule out the possibility that hackers may have broken into Hillary Clinton’s private email server.
Federal investigators found no direct evidence that hackers had managed to break into the server or access the email account hosted on it, Director James Comey told reporters on Tuesday, while announcing that the FBI would not recommend charges against the former secretary of State and presumptive Democratic presidential nominee.
“But, given the nature of the system and of the actors potentially involved, we assess that we would be unlikely to see such direct evidence,” he said.
