Correction: Carter Email story

In a Dec. 17 story about Defense Secretary Ash Carter’s use of his personal email account, The Associated Press reported erroneously that Rep. Mac Thornberry said Carter should ask the Pentagon’s Inspector General to verify that no classified information was transmitted over unsecured channels by Carter or Deputy Defense Secretary Robert Work. Thornberry referred to Carter’s previous tenure as deputy defense secretary, but he made no mention of Work. Work’s email practices are not in question.
