Hillary Clinton gave her first interview since being named the Democrat nominee to Fox News and she used it to defend herself in the face of the scandals that have plagued her.
Fox then played three separate clips in which Clinton said she did not send or receive any classified material via email. She would get upset when some of the people you had on would say these bad things about me. “And people begin to undermine me because when I left office as secretary of state, 66% of Americans approved of what I do”. “I would say, ‘Well, mom, if it upsets you so much, why do you keep watching?’ She said, ‘Well, I like some of the people and I have to know what the other ones are saying so I can understand and be against it'”. “They certainly did not believe and had no reason to believe that what they were sending was classified”, she added.
In a June 20 letter, I called FBI Director James Comey’s investigation into the Orlando shooting, killing 49 innocent Americans, “pretty poor police work”. “It is certainly not anything I ever would do again”, she said.
The aides and attorneys without security clearances who deleted and scrubbed 30,000 emails off her server – what if some of them kept copies of the “good ones” that they can use for leverage against a president Clinton? “There was classified material emailed”, Comey said.
Clinton replied, acknowledging that she “made a mistake” by “not using two different email addresses”.
She said she was afraid she might cry after seeing her daughter, Chelsea, on stage.

“I take classification seriously”. “I relied on, and have every reason to rely on, the judgments of the professionals with whom I worked”.
