A State Department investigation has found that aides to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton contributed to the appearance of undue influence and favoritism in three departmental investigations related to alleged sexual conduct by officials in the field.

In the highest-level case, the departments inspector general found that senior State Department officials declared an allegation that the U.S. Ambassador to Belgium had solicited a prostitute in a public park as a management issue. The move effectively halted an investigation by the departments Bureau of Diplomatic Security. The ambassador, Howard Gutman, was recalled to Washington from Belgium to meet with Under Secretary of State for Management Patrick Kennedy and Clinton Counselor and Chief of Staff Cheryl Mills, according to the report.

At the meeting, the Ambassador denied the allegations and was then permitted to return to post. The Department took no further action affecting the Ambassador. But the inspector general report finds that department officials offered varying reasons for declaring it a management issue, and that the diplomatic security investigation was halted before all potential witnesses, including the Ambassador, were interviewed.

In the second case, department managers were found to have interfered in the investigation into a Regional Security Officer accused of sexual misconduct and harassment. In the third, the Assistant Secretary of State for Diplomatic Security was found to have improperly delayed for four months a diplomatic security interview with Brett McGurk, the Obama administration nominees to be Ambassador to Iraq in 2012. McGurk withdrew his nomination after flirtatious emails were leaked between him and a then-Wall Street Journal reporter while the two were based in Baghdad in 2008. The inspector general said the investigation into the leak was brought to a temporary standstill until McGurk could be interviewed.

The revelations were first reported in a 2013 leaked draft of the inspector general report.

Republicans, looking for any ammunition to use against Clinton as she prepares for a likely presidential run in 2016, are likely to attempt tying Clinton to the reports findings, though the inspector general did not find any direct link to the former secretary.

Clinton Aides Faulted for Strong-Arming State Investigations

STORY HIGHLIGHTS

Washington (CNN) -- Macy Friday can't remember what she was thinking when -- mouth agape, eyes bugged -- she shook hands with Hillary Clinton in Denver this week. It all happened so fast, she says.

What she does remember is the national response to the photo of her reacting with pure, unadulterated excitement to meeting the former secretary of state.

Media outlets pounced on the story. The Washington Post captured the reaction perfectly, writing that Macy had a "look on her face that has never been witnessed by anyone who is not a dad chaperoning a minivan full of teenagers at a One Direction concert."

But why was Macy so excited? What does she like about Hillary Clinton? And who else would she react that way to meeting?

CNN spoke with Macy Friday over the phone Thursday. Here is our conversation:

CNN: How did you get to meet Hillary Clinton?

Macy: I went to Union Station unsuspecting that she would come. I had seen her in the elections and I have heard a lot about her. I was just like, 'Wow.' I was excited because, I thought, she was saying hi to a lot of people. I didn't think she was going to say hi to me. They went into a coffee shop and we were like, 'Oh no, they are going to leave.' And then, she came out and she is like, 'Hey you.' And I didn't know who she is talking to. And then I realized it was me and I went up and I turned back at my family. (long pause) I had never met anybody famous before. (long pause) I turned back at my family and I, like, I, you know, made the face.

CNN: What did you think about all the attention your photo received?

Why is this 10-year old so excited to meet Hillary Clinton?

Guerrilla street artist SABO, who made headlines with his Gwyneth Paltrow "Obama Drone" poster, has struck again this time ahead of Hillary Clinton's upcoming Democratic fundraiser at Tavern restaurant in Brentwood.

The Los Angeles artist early Friday hung signs depicting Wizard of Oz flying monkeys holding "Hillary 2016" signs from traffic lights and pasted them on utility boxes near the San Vicente Boulevard restaurant.

Although, as SABO told The Hollywood Reporter on Friday, one poster near a Whole Foods had been "violently" torn down.

"All these leftists, I'm tired of their s," SABO said via email.

The Louisiana native, who moved to Los Angeles in 1987 to attend the prestigious Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, has become the conservatives' answer to liberal artists like Shepard Fairey but much meaner.

His caricature of former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi twerking, which helped launch the conservative website Breitbart California, triggered demands for an apology from a cross section of angry Democrats. And when Texas lawmaker Wendy Davis came to L.A. to raise money last year, SABO lampooned her as "Abortion Barbie." In addition to the flying monkey posters, SABO has been busy working on a fake Tavern website, which brutally ridicules Clinton and the Democratic Party. He also has an entire section of his websiteUnsavory Agentsdedicated to the former Secretary of State, who will be in Los Angeles on Oct. 20 for the Democratic senatorial fundraiser hosted by Jeffrey Katzenberg, Steven Spielberg, Alan Horn and other top industry execs at Tavern.

"It sickens me to see just about every California Republican I run across pull out the white flag in surrender to the coming coronation of Hillary Clinton," SABOwrote on his website. "They've all but given up without a hint of a fight. Let this image be a reminder to them that our lady in waiting is not invincible. Obama came out of nowhere and knocked her off her perch without so much as trying."
