Hillary Clinton's use of a private email server while she was Secretary of State has been one of the hot topics in the US presidential election990 Archives with Donald Trump threatening to prosecute (and jail her).

"Not sure what to say re Trump's email server. Other than during a hot topic of election campaign, maybe run an supported, patchable system," Beaumont tweeted.
