• Clinton Email Had Classified Marking at Time It Was Sent
• FBI Knew About Omar Mateen, the suspect in Sunday’s massacre that left at least 50 dead and more than 50 others wounded at a gay nightclub in Orlando, Florida. During a Sunday press conference, an FBI official confirmed that Mateen first drew the attention of the FBI in 2013 when he made “inflammatory” remarks to coworkers about possible terror ties. He came under scrutiny a second time in 2014 due to a connection to a suicide bomber. Both investigations were inconclusive and no further action was taken. FBI agent Ron Hopper said investigators have “suggestions that individual has leanings towards” radical Islamic terrorism. However, Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) told CNN on Sunday that local police informed him that Mateen pledged allegiance to the Islamic State.
