A new development in Hillary Clinton’s e-mail server scandal broke Thursday. Clinton’s longtime aide Huma Abedin was finally questioned by the FBI. Throughout the day most news outlets praised it as a sign that the investigation was coming to a close. ABC dedicated a quick news brief to the topic, while CBS only allowed it two sentences. While its competitors were busy brushing over the scandal, NBC conducted a sit down interview with Guccifer, the Romanian hacker who claims to have accessed the secretary’s private server.
Reporter Cynthia McFadden sat down with Guccifer, whose real name is Marcel Lazar, in a Romanian prison. During their interview he laughed at the idea that Clinton’s server was secured:
MCFADDEN: When Hillary Clinton says that her server is absolutely safe, you're laughing.
GUCCIFER: That's a lie.
MCFADDEN: That's a lie? Yes?
GUCCIFER: Yes.
MCFADDEN: It's not safe?
GUCCIFER: It's not safe at all.
Secretary Clinton’s server wasn’t his only high profile target. Apparently, he has also hacked into the e-mail accounts of Colin Powell and the Bush family.
