WASHINGTON (AP) – Former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton’s lack of explanation as to why she used a private, nongovernment email account when she was the country’s top diplomat will hurt her unless she comes forward with more details, says California Sen. Dianne Feinstein.
She was the first major Democrat to urge Clinton to fully explain her actions.
The former first lady and New York senator “needs to step up and come out and state exactly what the situation is,” Feinstein said. “From this point on, the silence is going to hurt her.”
Clinton’s husband, former President Bill Clinton, avoided the controversy Sunday morning.
Asked whether his wife was treated fairly, Bill Clinton replied, “I’m not the one to judge that. I have an opinion, but I have a bias.”
