The FBI is asking questions about the security of former secretary of State Hillary Clinton's private email server and has contacted the Denver-based company that managed the system,
The Washington Post reported Tuesday, citing two unnamed government officials.
The reported FBI probe comes on the heels of a request from two government inspectors general for a Justice Department review of a "potential compromise of classified information'' on Clinton's email server.
Four emails containing classified information were identified among 30,000 emails that Clinton handed over to the State Department for review, the inspectors general for the State Department and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence said in a joint statement last month.

The FBI also contacted Clinton's lawyer, David Kendall, last week with questions about the security of a thumb drive he has with copies of emails from Clinton's tenure as secretary of State, according to the
Post.
"The government is seeking assurance about the storage of those materials. We are actively cooperating," the
Post quoted Kendall as saying.
The
Post said a lawyer for Platte River Networks, the Denver tech company that helped manage Clinton's server, declined to comment.
