Most government officials use the federal government's email system servers to classify emails.
From time to time someone uses a private email server that they pay for hosting instead of federal government ones. It sort of complicates things when that happens because it is not seen as much secure as a government one. We have laws about classified emails and rules to follow.
Hillary claimed there was no classified email on her server, and that she turned over all emails. The email of the private served was deleted, but now is being recovered. There is an FBI investigation into it that recovers emails.
The Republicans have attacked Hillary over private email use, but Sarah Palin and other Republicans also used private email servers.
I am sure in non-US nations this is no big deal, and you are wondering why it is being investigated. In the USA we want our government to be transparent and accountable for their documents and emails. Have have a freedom of information act that we can request documents and emails from the government on certain issues like Benghazi and the Embassy attacks. But if the email is deleted, how can we see it?
Anyway it has become a political issue that Republicans are using against Hillary Clinton right now.
