According to the NBC report, those familiar with the case say the FBI’s review of the Clinton server logs showed no sign of hacking.

The Clinton campaign responded swiftly, saying that there’s “no basis” to believe Lazar’s claims:

“There is absolutely no basis to believe the claims made by this criminal from his prison cell,” said Clinton’s National Press Secretary Brian Fallon.

“In addition to the fact that he offers no proof to support his claims, his descriptions of Secretary Clinton’s server are inaccurate. It is unfathomable that he would have gained access to her emails and not leaked them the way he did to his other victims.”

Fallon continued, noting the inconsistencies of the statement. 

“We have received no indication from any government agency to support these claims, nor are they reflected in the range of charges that Guccifer already faces and that prompted his extradition in the first place,” Fallon added.

“And it has been reported that security logs from Secretary Clinton’s email server do not show any evidence of foreign hacking.”
