Former FBI Director James Comey is taking criticism for changing the language between an early draft and the final copy of his statement on ending the Hillary Clinton email investigation.
Newly reported memos show Comey originally accused the former secretary of state of being “grossly negligent” in handling classified information in a draft dated May 2, 2016. But that was modified to claim that Clinton had been “extremely careless” in a draft dated June 10, 2016.
Federal law states that gross negligence in handling the nation’s intelligence can be punished criminally with prison time.
