WASHINGTON — The Federal Bureau of Investigation announced Monday it is launching an investigation into the apparent hacking of a trove of Democratic National Committee emails, a string of which have indicated that party bosses worked behind the scenes to tip the nomination in the direction of Hillary Clinton over rival Bernie Sanders.
"The FBI is investigating a cyber intrusion involving the DNC and are working to determine the nature and scope of the matter," the statement read. "A compromise of this nature is something we take very seriously, and the FBI will continue to investigate and hold accountable those who pose a threat in cyberspace."
