Hillary Clinton was warned against revealing her private e-mail practices at the State Department over hacking fears.
An aide to Clinton sent an e-mail on June 4, 2011, suggesting that the then-secretary of state and her staff not “telegraph” that some officials were using private e-mail accounts on which they conducted government business, according to messages made public on Wednesday.
