Clinton Insists Again Her Private Email Was Allowed

Hillary Clinton doubled down on defending her email practices as Secretary of State, arguing that the use of a personal account was “allowed, and rules have since been “clarified,” ABC News reports.

Said Clinton: “This report makes clear that personal email use was the practice for other secretaries of state. It was allowed. And the rules have been clarified since I left.”

“Yesterday, a report released by the State Department’s Office of Inspector General said that Clinton shouldn’t have used a private email server to conduct official business and would have not been allowed to do so had she asked. It also found that she should have turned over emails after her tenure and violated department policy.”
