Clinton apologizes for e-mail account
Print Edition
Hillary Rodham Clinton has apologized for her use of a private e-mail account as secretary of state after declining since last week to express remorse for the arrangement that has shaken her presidential campaign.
Asked about setting up the private e-mail account by ABC News, Clinton said on Tuesday, “That was a mistake. I’m sorry about that. I take responsibility, and I’m trying to be as transparent as I possibly can.”
The frontrunner for the Democratic presidential nomination declined to apologize for using a private e-mail system when asked directly by NBC News on Friday, saying she was “sorry that this has been confusing to people.”
In an interview with The Associated Press on Monday, she said an apology wasn’t necessary because what she did was “allowed” by the US State Department.
The apology evolution is the latest chapter for an issue that has dogged Clinton’s presidential campaign for months.
Despite a big fundraising advantage and a slew of endorsements from party leaders, Clinton’s standing with voters has slipped — multiple polls show a majority of Americans don’t find her honest and trustworthy.
After the shaky summer, Clinton’s advisers say she’ll more fully address the e-mail saga as the campaign presses on.
Republican presidential candidates see the issue as a way in which to discredit Clinton for the general election.
