Hillary Clinton has been accused of stealing furniture from the State Department and using it in her home, according to recently released FBI records.

The claim came from an ex-agent with the Bureau of Diplomatic Security who served as part of her security detail while in office.

A 100-page dossier also provides evidence of claims that Clinton's staff tried to convince the FBI to downgrade the classification of some emails on her private server in return for more special agents stationed abroad.

The dossier, which is redacted, does not show who initiated the discussion about altering the classification of the emails.

Hillary Clinton has been accused of stealing items of furniture from the State Department

DC home: Hillary and Bill Clinton have a large house on 'embassy row' in the capital. It was here the agent alleged State Department lamps and furniture were taken

Insulting: The agent revealed how Clinton insisted on breaking protocol that she ride with the US ambassador on foreign visits and instead went with Huma Abedin, her aide

The ex-agent told the FBI that they were aware of Clinton or her aides 'removing lamps and furniture from the State Department which were transported to her residence in Washington, D.C.'

The female agent did not know whether the items were returned, the FBI noted.

The claim is particularly resonant for the Clintons, who left the White House with massive amounts of furniture and other items which they then either returned - including sofas, a chair, and an ottoman - or paid for.

In total they declared $190,000 in gifts as they left the White House, but ended up paying $86,000 in cash and handing back $48,000 worth of items - after public outrage at what they had done.

The State Department denied the ex-agent's allegation, saying it was 'not true' and that the items removed from the building had been paid for by the then Secretary of State.

State Department deputy spokesperson Mark Toner said: 'Secretary Clinton did not remove State Department furniture or other U.S. government property from the premises.

'Secretary Clinton brought a small number of personal items - including lamps - from her personal residence to the State Department when she became Secretary, and she took those personal items with her when she departed.

'An inventory of the Secretary’s office was conducted when she arrived at the Department and when she left. No State Department or U.S. government property was removed.'

The disclosure was included in 100 pages the FBI released from its now-closed investigation into whether the former secretary of state and her aides mishandled sensitive government information that flowed through the private mail server located in her New York home.

The FBI interviewed a member of the Bureau of Diplomatic Security at the State Department about Clinton's security awareness.

The female agent had also worked for the former Secretary of State Condaleeza Rice.

She described 'a stark difference' between Clinton and Rice's obedience to 'security and diplomatic protocols'.

The female agent, whose name has been redacted from the publicly released file, said: 'Rice observed strict adherence to State Department security and diplomatic protocols while Clinton frequently and blatantly disregarded them'.

The agent claimed Clinton often traveled to meet foreign leaders in a limo with her chief of staff Huma Abedin rather than the local ambassador.

'This frequently led to complaints by ambassadors who were insulted and embarrassed by this breach of protocol.'

The agent told investigators: 'Abedin possessed "much more power" over Clinton's staff and schedule than other former chiefs of staff.

'[The agent] believed Abedin herself was often responsible for overriding security and diplomatic protocols on behalf of Clinton.'

The agent accused Clinton of 'using her position as Secretary of State to campaign for President of the United States'.

She said Clinton placed 'her staff, the media and her security detail in unnecessary danger in order to conduct a photo opportunity for 'her election campaign'.

The agent accused Clinton of ordering the driver of an armored limo in the West Bank of Palestine while in 'occupied territory' to wind down his window, exposing himself and his passengers to potential danger.

Later, the same agent claimed: 'Early in Clinton's tenure as Secretary of State, she and her staff were observed removing lamps and furniture from the State Department which were transported to her residence in Washington, DC.'

The source claimed she 'does not know whether these items were ever returned to the government'.

However, the State Department confirmed the items had been paid for by Clinton.

Later in her testimony, the same agent complained about Clinton's continued use of her Secret Service protection detail while at home in New York.

The agent claimed: 'Clinton's treatment of DS agents on her protective detail was so contemptuous that many of them sought reassignment or employment elsewhere.

'Prior to Clinton's tenure, being an agent on the Secretary of State's protective detail was seen as an honor and privilege reserved for senior agents.

'However, by the end of Clinton's tenure, it was staffed largely with new agents because it was difficult to find senior agents willing to work for her.

'[The agent] claimed to have had at least one conversation with Secret Service agents who experienced the same poor treatment.'

The agent also claimed Clinton ignored security procedures when entering a special secure area called the Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility (SCIF) which had been built in her home. No cell phones were allowed in the SCIF, although Clinton has been accused of making herself 'exempt from the same regulations'.
