Sen. Charles Grassley (R-Iowa) has sent a letter to Defense Secretary Ash Carter asking if the Pentagon has reviewed whether classified information was involved in Carter’s use of a personal email account last year. Carter has said previously that no classified information was involved.
“[T]he use of private email in this context exposes the information to possible hacks and intrusions by foreign intelligence agencies,” Grassley, the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, wrote in a letter dated Feb. 1.
