Clinton bids to end email controversy

Trying to get her presidential campaign back on track, Hillary Clinton says she should have used a government email address while working as the nation’s top diplomat instead of a private one. The admission sought to quell a political furore some Democratic allies say she could no longer avoid.

However, questions still linger over Clinton’s email habits. If all of her emails are eventually made open, don’t expect to see much correspondence with her husband — or any correspondence at all. Bill Clinton has not used email since he became president of the United States.

Clinton told reporters that emails she deleted from her personal account contained “personal communications from my husband and me”. However, a spokesman for Bill Clinton, Matt McKenna, told reporters earlier this week the former president had only “sent two emails in his life”.
