Obama defends Clinton over private email server, blames controversy on politics: (HILLARY GROUP)
Hillary Rodham Clinton’s use of a private email server while she was secretary of State “is not a situation in which America's national security was endangered,” President Obama said in an interview Sunday, adding that although Clinton “made a mistake,” he believes the controversy over the matter has “been ginned up … in part because of politics.”
In an interview with CBS’ “60 Minutes” that was released Sunday, Obama reiterated that he had not known about Clinton’s use of a private server for her email while she led the State Department.
“I think that it was a mistake that she has acknowledged and, you know, as a general proposition, when we're in these offices, we have to be more sensitive and stay as far away from the line as possible when it comes to how we handle information, how we handle our own personal data,” he said.
But, he added, “I don't think it posed a national security problem.”
“The fact that for the last three months this is all that's been spoken about is an indication that we're in presidential political season,” Obama said, noting that there is no evidence the private system was used to “hide something or to squirrel away information.”
Clinton’s critics have said her use of a private email server could have exposed sensitive information to foreign intelligence agencies. So far, no evidence has come to light showing that Clinton’s server was hacked. By contrast, the State Department’s official email system is known to have been penetrated at least once by Russian hackers in recent years....
