The just-discovered second address was used for Clinton's communications with longtime adviser Sydney Blumenthal, the newspaper reported. It's also tied to the same private, home-based email server that officials discovered a few months ago.
One message from Clinton to Blumenthal from the secret account, the New York Post reported: "Fyi. The idea of using private security experts to arm the opposition should be considered." That message came from the account, [email protected], and was in context of discussing strategies to oust Libya's leader in 2011.

Trey Gowdy, R-S.C., the Hrod17 email did in fact exist, but insisted it was "not an address that existed during Secretary Clinton's tenure as secretary of state," the New York Post reported. But as the New York Times found: The time stamps on the emails, as well as the content of the messages, shows this statement is not accurate.
