Investigators this week asked the Justice Department to look into a “potential compromise of classified information” surrounding the private email server, a department official said on Friday. The official said the referral did not relate to possible criminal wrongdoing, despite having said earlier on Friday that it did. On Saturday, in Iowa, Clinton told reporters she never knowingly sent or received classified information using her private server and did not know what messages were being cited by investigators. Appearing on CNN on Sunday to discuss a new poll of GOP voters which showed him leading the 16-strong Republican field – on 18% to 15% for Jeb Bush and 10% for Scott Walker – Trump said “I haven’t focused on Hillary”, though he added that he had made “some very strong statements” about her at an Iowa rally of his own on Saturday. “The fact is that what she’s done is criminal,” he said. “ I don’t see how she can run. Because if the prosecutors – who are all Democrats, by the way, and that’s part of the problem with fairness here, they’re protecting her – but if you had an impartial prosecutor and they were honorable – maybe they are, we’re going to find out – but what she’s done is criminal.” The Guardian view on Donald Trump’s early lead in the race for the Republican nomination | Editorial

Trump said what Clinton did was “far worse than what General Petraeus did” – the former CIA director was sentenced to probation for leaking classified information to a biographer who was also his lover – and said she had “got rid of the server after getting a subpoena from the United States Congress”.
