President Obama is believed to have used a pseudonym in email exchanges with Hillary Clinton when she worked at the State Department, raising new questions about his previous claim he knew nothing about her private server.

Documents released Friday evening from the FBI’s official investigation of Clinton’s unauthorized homebrew server include pages of notes from interviews with her closest aides, including longtime confidant Huma Abedin.
Buried deep in the more than 180 pages released by the federal agency are the following notes from an interview conducted on April 5, 2015:
“Abedin provided that when Clinton needed to contact the president she would have [REDACTED] call the Oval Office to coordinate the meeting or call. Abedin believed that Clinton had the president’s email address but Abedin did not know what it was. Abedin noted that the president could only receive from approved addresses. She recounted that when Clinton changed her primary email address they had to notify the White House so that Clinton’s would not be rejected by the server. Abedin was not sure how often Clinton emailed the president. Abedin was shown an email chain dated June 28, 2012, with the subject “Re: Congratulations!” Abedin did not recognize the name of the sender. Once informed that the name is believed to be a pseudonym used by the president, Abedin exclaimed, “How is this not classified?” Abedin then expressed her amazement at the president’s use of a pseudonym and asked if she could have a copy of the email.”
