Hillary Clinton Made Mistake Over Personal Email Server —Bill Clinton |PoliFocus

Husband of the US presidential hopeful and former President, Bill Clinton has said it was a mistake for Hillary Clinton to use a personal email server while secretary of state even thoughher predecessors and her successor did the same.


The former president said his wife should have known she would be subjected to different rules if she ever ran for the White House.

Mr Clinton defended the Democratic presidential candidate during a question-and-answer in Las Vegas, arguing it did not occur to diplomats sending emails at the time that they should be concerned with records classification.

The former president defended the Democratic candidate at an event in Las Vegas.

He also insisted the private email server controversy was not "a cause for distrust"."If it were a cause for distrust, it's inconceivable that all these prominent national security people ... would've endorsed her," he added.

Mrs Clinton's email system, which she used during her four years in office, has continued to be a source of controversy during the presidential race.

She maintains it was set up for convenience, but critics claim it was because it gave her total control over her correspondence and what information should be released, such as to the congressional committee investigating the 2012 attack on the US consulate in Benghazi.
