GETTY 12215 USCapitol?  SQUARESPACE CACHEVERSION=1421941283363Vladone/iStock/Thinkstock(WASHINGTON) — The Senate e-mail system has been fully restored after being down overnight.

The Senate Sergeant at Arms’ office tweeted Thursday, “#Senate network outage update (6AM): all systems are fully operational again. We apologize for inconvenience & thank you for your patience.”

The network went down sometime Wednesday evening.

Senate Sergeant at Arms Frank Larkin told ABC News at about 7 p.m. Wednesday that “the Senate is currently experiencing a network outage, including email and mobility.” One Senate office, meanwhile, said the system went down at about 5:30 p.m.

It is still not clear what caused the outage.
