Feds: Betsy DeVos used personal emails for work in 'limited' cases
The agency's Office of Inspector General, which was investigating at the request of House Democrats, said it searched the department's email system and found a"limited" number of messages to or from DeVos' personal accounts. In total, it said there were"fewer than 100" emails linked to four personal accounts.
In total, investigators said they identified six emails sent by DeVos on private accounts, including five that involved official agency business. The inquiry concluded there was no evidence of"active or extensive" use of DeVos' personal accounts. Under department rules, employees are forbidden from using personal emails for government business except in rare circumstances when their work accounts are unavailable. In those cases, employees are required to forward the messages to their work accounts within 20 days. But in DeVos' case, the report said, that never happened.
The inspector general's office urged the department to improve its training on the issue. It said there was no other evidence of irregularities around the use of personal emails.
