Last night, The New York Times reported that two inspectors general have asked the Justice Department to open a criminal investigation into whether classified government information was mishandled because of Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server. The request comes after an assessment sent last month to the State Department and intelligence agencies that Clinton’s private email account contained “hundreds of potentially classified emails.” More from the Times:

“It is not clear if any of the information in the emails was marked as classified by the State Department when Mrs. Clinton sent or received them. But since her use of a private email account for official State Department business was revealed in March, she has repeatedly said that she had no classified information on the account. The initial revelation has been an issue in the early stages of her presidential campaign. …

At issue are thousands of pages of State Department emails from Mrs. Clinton’s private account. Mrs. Clinton has said she used the account because it was more convenient, but it also shielded her correspondence from congressional and Freedom of Information Act requests. She faced sharp criticism after her use of the account became public, and subsequently said she would ask the State Department to release her emails.”

It’s now crystal clear that Clinton’s claims from months ago about emailing classified materials – claims which she and her campaign maintain to this day – were simply false.

The Wall Street Journal reports that Congress has begun an investigation into whether Cuomo’s office watered down the findings of an audit which showed that a non-profit whose CEO was a prominent Cuomo advisor and ally – and enjoyed a seven-figure salary – was overbilling the state to the tune of over $150 million:

The Republican-led House Oversight and Government Reform Committee is investigating why a final report on the audit—begun in 2008—hasn’t been released and why its findings appeared to have been scaled down, the committee’s chairman, Darrell Issa (R., Calif.), said through a spokeswoman. Mr. Cuomo is a Democrat.

In an Aug. 4 letter to Visiting Nurse Service, Mr. Issa said the Cuomo administration initially found in February 2011 that the nonprofit company had overbilled the state by $153 million. Committee investigators have obtained information indicating that the report’s release was delayed at the request of Mr. Cuomo’s office, Mr. Issa said, and its findings were revised downward to $68 million in May.

At the same time in 2011, Visiting Nurse Service’s $1 million-a-year chief executive, Carol Raphael, was a member of a special policy team appointed by Mr. Cuomo to redesign Medicaid. Ms. Raphael has since left the nonprofit and now works as a policy adviser for a division of Manatt, Phelps & Phillips, LLP, a law firm that lobbies in Albany. She didn’t respond to a request for comment on Monday.
