While serving as governor of Indiana, now-Vice President Mike Pence used a private email account to conduct state business, including the discussion of sensitive issues and homeland security, according to a report by Indianapolis Star. The report also says that his email account was hacked, with a perpetrator gaining access to it in the middle of last year and sending out a fake email to his contacts. As US President Donald Trump's running mate on the 2016 campaign trail, Pence criticized the Republican's rival Hillary Clinton for using a private email server for official communications, a scandal that haunted her throughout the race.
