Background
Hillary Clinton served as a U.S. Senator from New York from 2001 to 2009 and as U.S. Secretary of State from 2009 to 2013. She was the 2016 Democratic presidential nominee and the primary target of Internet Research Agency influence operations and GRU hacking during that election. The FBI investigated her use of a private email server as Secretary of State; Director James Comey publicly criticized her handling of classified material in July 2016 while declining to recommend charges. Russian operatives used her candidacy as a central organizing theme for their social media influence campaign.
