While former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton still leads the Democratic field by a large margin, snatching 42 percent of support, the poll by Monmouth University showed that Biden, who has yet to throw his hat into the ring, garners 22 percent of support, Xinhua reported.

The conservative watchdog group Judicial Watch is seeking access to her emails under a public records lawsuit.
August . 10, Clinton submitted to a federal court a statement signed under penalty of perjury saying she returned all work-related emails that were stored on her private server at her New York home, noted the Washington Times.
As was the case with her previous attempt to use humor to defuse the scandal, in which she said she “loved” Snapchat because “those images disappear all by themselves”, the “joke” appeared to do more harm than good. That Clinton didn’t use her email at all during those months? Last month, she turned over both a thumb drive containing the emails and the server itself – something she had vowed never to do – to Justice Department investigators probing whether sensitive documents were properly protected.
Fitton said that the Justice Department “is undermining its own investigation of this issue while also providing a defense for Mrs. Clinton personally”, and added that the DOJ’s filing will benefit Clinton’s “political aspirations”.
Judicial Watch, which has sued the State Department under the Freedom of Information Act to force the release of Clinton’s emails, believes she and the administration have been lying about what they have provided.
Hillary Clinton had the right to delete messages from her personal e-mail account that she deemed non-work related while she was Secretary of State, the US Department of Justice said in a court filing. Deleted emails often can be recovered from a device that has not been “wiped” – that is, completely erasing the data from the hard disk.
Mrs Clinton turned over 30,000 official emails to the U.S. state department in late 2014.
“Was the Department of State aware that, in addition to getting paid as a full-time employee at the department, Mr. Pagliano was also getting paid to manage Secretary Clinton’s private server?” Despite her bad choice, she insists most of her emails have been preserved for history. The ad features already-released photos of Hillary and Bill Clinton holding the baby in the hospital. Or the State Department just overlooked these messages? The company first received the server in June 2013, four months after Clinton resigned as state secretary. On the one hand they offer a nod to the fact that Clinton repeatedly lied about sending and receiving classified data on this account.

“Of course I’m anxious, like everyone else”, said Rep. Karen Bass, a California Democrat backing Mrs. Clinton. Her acknowledgement of the “mistake” came as the email controversy threatens to derail her presidential campaign.
