Hillary Clinton
Hillary Clinton finally broke her weeks-long media silence, consenting – after concerted pressing from the press – to answer some quick questions during a campaign stop in Iowa and insisting nobody wants those private server emails released to the public more than she does.
“I want those emails out,” she said, Fox News reported. The problem is, she added, they “belong to the State Department” so all she can do is push for their speedy release to the public.
Her actual statement: “Nobody has a bigger interest in getting them released than I do. … [But] they’re not mine. They belong to the State Department.”
The email scandal has only grown larger in recent days, after the New York Times found Clinton didn’t have just one, but two, private accounts she used for secretary of state purposes. Meanwhile, a federal judge just this week ordered the State Department to draw up and present a schedule for the email release within the next week.
Other questions Clinton fielded dealt with the issue of transparency and her Clinton Foundation donor receipts. On that, she said she was “proud” of the work of the organzation, Fox News reported.
Clinton’s question-answer session wasn’t exactly voluntary. A Twitter messenger posted how it came about, beginning with Fox News’ Ed Henry interrupting Clinton’s question-answer session with the campaign audience to ask: What about the press? Clinton’s reply was a bit mocking.
Jennifer Epstein tweeted, Mediaite reported: “@edhenry interrupts as Clinton takes Qs from attendees, asks if she’ll talk to press. ‘I will put it on my list for due consideration.’”
