Green Party presidential nominee Jill Stein hammered Democrat Hillary Clinton over her private email server, saying it "raises real questions about her competency."
"I think there should have been a full investigation. I think the American people are owed an explanation for what happened, and why top-secret information was put at risk, why the identity of secret agents were potentially put at risk," Stein said Monday on CNN.
Stein wouldn't comment on whether a now-closed FBI investigation should have led to criminal charges for the former secretary of State. But, she said, "there is much more that is coming to public attention about Clinton's behavior, including the recent revelations about favors bestowed on the Clinton Foundation's donors who got special deals, who got state partnerships."
Stein said in July that the FBI was "giving Clinton a pass" when the Justice Department agency declined to recommend prosecuting Clinton on criminal charges, The Hill reports.
The candidate also said she agreed that an oversight committee from the House of Representatives should investigate Clinton's email practices further.
"We're talking about state secrets and these are the highest level of state secrets that were put at risk, when it is known that the protections for her email were extremely inadequate," Stein said. "Orders were being issued from her office to others in the … State Department to do the exact opposite of what she was doing. So certainly, you know, if she wasn't aware that she was violating State Department rules, it raises real issues about her competency."
