In the exchange, Huma Abedin, one of Clinton's top aides, told Justin Cooper, who was the registrant on Clinton's private server, that her "Clinton [black]berry" was not working.
Justin Cooper was the Clinton aide who set up the email server.

The email exchange happened on Jan. 9, 2011, just four days after an unknown individual used the encrypted privacy tool Tor to access email on Clinton's server.
Podesta's emails were exposed by Russian hackers this month.
