The report, sent to Senate Finance Committee Chair Chuck Grassley on Oct. 16, found 38 employees “culpable” of violating department security protocol, but those violations did not apply to any transmitted material that had been marked as “classified.”

It added that “by and large, the individuals interviewed were aware of security policies and did their best to implement them.”
