Trump's Vice President hacked while using private email - after he criticised Hillary Clinton for same thing

US Vice President Mike Pence used a private email account while he was governor of Indiana - and was hacked. Pence used the private email account to discuss sensitive
matters and homeland security issues, according to reports.
The account was hacked last summer, the Indianapolis Star claims.
During the 2016 presidential campaign, Pence criticised Hillary Clinton's use of a private email server while she was US secretary of state, saying it endangered national security.
"Similar to previous governors, during his time as Governor of Indiana, Mike Pence maintained a state email account and a personal email account," Pence's office said in a statement.
Indiana law does not prohibit public officials from using personal email accounts.
After Pence was hacked in June by a scammer who sent a plea for money to his email contacts, the governor set up a new AOL account.
Pence was chosen by then-Republican candidate Donald Trump as his running mate in July.
Indiana law requires all records dealing with state business to be retained and available for public information requests.
Pence's office said in the statement that he directed
outside counsel to review all of his communications as Indiana governor to ensure that state-related emails were being transferred and properly archived by the state.
