An aide to Bill Clinton destroyed Hillary's phones by 'breaking them in half or hitting them with a hammer', according to FBI documents released Friday. The FBI identified 13 mobile phones Hillary may have used to send emails through a private server, and staffer Justin Cooper recalled two instances where he destroyed the phones through brute force. Hillary's 'shadow' Huma Abedin told the FBI the former Secretary of State would often use a new phone for a few days before switching back to an older one because she was more familiar with how to use it.The FBI identified 13 phones Hillary may have used to send emails through a private server, and Huma Abedin said the former Secretary of State was known to switch between them Cooper recalled 'two instances where he destroyed Clinton's old mobile phones by breaking them in half or hitting them with a hammer,' according to the FBI report. Abedin said aides would help transfer Hillary's sim cards when she switched between phones. 'The whereabouts of Clinton's devices would frequently become unknown once she transitioned to a new device,' according to the FBI.
Abedin said aides would help transfer Hillary's sim cards Cooper got a start as an intern in the Office of Science and Technology, before working as Bill Clinton's senior adviser and moving on to the Clinton Foundation and it's initiatives. He registered the domain clintonemail.com a week before Clinton was sworn in as secretary of state and shut down the private server in 2011 when someone tried to hack it. He did not have security clearance and was not an expert in cyber security, the Washington Post reported. After the FBI published additional documents on Friday, Hillary's press secretary Brian Fallon said they were 'pleased'. 'While her use of a single email account was clearly a mistake and she has taken responsibility for it, these materials make clear why the Justice Department believed there was no basis to move forward with this case,' he said. The documents revealed Hillary told the FBI she could not recall answers to some of their questions about her secret server scandal because she had a concussion in 2012.
