The report suggests the State Department under Clinton's leadership gave "special attention" to anyone deemed a friend of Bill Clinton — or "FOB" — in the wake of the 2010 Haiti earthquake.
ABC obtained State Department emails from Hillary Clinton's time as secretary of state. A senior aide exchanged emails with a Clinton Foundation official and asked the official to "flag" people who had a relationship with Bill Clinton.
