US presidential candidate Hillary Clinton turns in private email servers following scandal

Hillary Clinton has taken another step in an attempt to kill off an email scandal and "pledged to cooperate with the government's security inquiry."

               CNN and other outlets reported on Tuesday, quoting a campaign spokesperson, that Clinton has asked her attorney to give the US Justice Department her private email server and a thumb drive of work-related emails from her time as secretary of state.

Nick Merrill, Clinton spokesman spoke to CNN late Tuesday and said the candidate "pledged to cooperate with the government's security inquiry," and would "continue to address" any other questions surrounding emails exchanged during her tenure as secretary of state.
Clinton's use of a private email account linked to a server in her New York home for her work as America's top diplomat was revealed in March and drew criticism from political opponents who accused her of sidestepping transparency and record-keeping laws. It has led to questions over whether classified information was improperly handled on the “homebrew” browser.
