E-mails from workers at the company that handled Hillary Clinton's private e-mail server suggest that the former Secretary of State's staff intentionally mishandled her e-mails.

CNN reports that Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee Chairman Ron Johnson (R-WI) and the FBI asked Datto, Inc, for information about the handling of Clinton's file. Shortly after the FBI announced it was investigating the server, one employee wrote: "Starting to think this whole thing really is covering up some shaddy [sic] s**t. I just think if we have it in writing that they told us to cut the backups, and that we can go public with our statement saying we have backups since day one, then we were told to trim to 30days [sic], it would make us look a WHOLE LOT better."

The same employee noted that Clinton's staff asked to change the duration of file backups, though there is no indication of a reason to do so.

Clinton's campaign has not commented on the story.
