U.S. Secretary Of Defense Ash Carter Admits Using A Personal Email Account For Work



ABC News: Defense Secretary Ash Carter: It Was a 'Mistake' to Use Personal Email for Work

Defense Secretary Ash Carter has come under fire for using a personal email account for official purposes and acknowledged that he made “a mistake."

Carter said he used his iPhone to send “administrative messages, no classified information” for some months even after Hillary Clinton became embroiled in her own personal email controversy. A spokesman for Carter said the defense secretary has not only stopped using his private email for work, but has also limited his use of email.

Carter became Defense Secretary on Feb. 17, two weeks after Clinton’s use of a personal email and server for official work at the State Department became public.

WNU Editor: Nothing serious is going to happen to him .... unlike what happened to former CIA Director Petraeus. My prediction .... a US Senate investigation, a reprimand and an promise to not do it again. But if the investigation finds deliberate wrongdoing .... for anyone else it would mean jail-time.
