Clinton Tries to Quell Email Storm

Hillary Clinton “defended her exclusive use of a private email address during her time as secretary of state, saying that she did so as a matter of “convenience,” to make life simpler by using one device and one email account,” the New York Times reports.

“She said that most of her emails were work-related, went to government employees and were captured on government servers. Mrs. Clinton said that the State Department would make public all of her work-related emails, which amount to about 30,000 messages. However, she said that her personal email — about issues such as her daughter’s wedding and the death of her mother — would remain private.”

Washington Post: “Scrambling to extinguish the growing controversy over her unconventional use of a private e-mail server ahead of the expected launch of her 2016 presidential campaign, Clinton said ‘there were no security breaches’ with her private account and that she was pleased the State Department will soon release her work-related e-mails into the public domain.”
