Hillary Clinton seem to have come back to her senses after all. “That was a mistake,” she said about the email controversy surrounding her.
Going into the details, the Democratic presidential frontrunner Hillary Clinton has been in the soup for using a private email server while she was performing her duties as the secretary of state.
The apology came as a surprise to everyone. Just a day before the apology, she told AP on Monday in Iowa that she doesn’t need to apologize for her nagging email controversy because “what I did was allowed.”
The abrupt shift in tone seems to be due to sudden drop of her poll pints from 52 to 42.
In the interview, “I’m sorry about that. I take responsibility,” Clinton said acknowledging that she should have used separate accounts for work and personal business. “I take responsibility and I am trying to be as transparent as I possibly can.”
Clinton later issued a slightly different apology saying she was “sorry that it has raised all these questions.”
Clinton defended her practices again on ABC, saying that everyone she emailed in the White House and Obama administration knew she used a private account. She also disputed that she ever traded information over email that was marked classified at the time.
