WASHINGTON (AP) — Newly released emails show a 2009 request to issue a secure government smartphone to then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was denied by the National Security Agency.
A month later, she began using private email accounts accessed through her BlackBerry to exchange messages with her top aides.
(CNSNews.com) – The administration "certainly respect[s]" deadlines laid down by Congress in legislation, but Secretary of State John Kerry needs more time to make a determination on whether atrocities by the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS/ISIL) against Christians and other religious minorities amount to genocide, State Department spokesman Mark Toner said Wednesday.
Announcing that Kerry will miss Thursday's deadline to make the determination, Toner said he needed "a bit more time in order to make the best decision with the best evidence available."
