Presumed Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton will reportedly hold a news conference this week to address her exclusive use of a private email address as secretary of state. Clinton relied exclusively on a personal email account linked to a private server at her home, a possible violation of State Department rules and federal law. Meanwhile, White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest confirmed President Obama had corresponded with Clinton on her private account.
Josh Earnest: “Yes, the president was aware of her email address. He traded emails with her. That shouldn’t be a surprise that the president of the United States is going to trade emails with the secretary of state. But the president was not aware of the fact that this was a personal email server and that this was the email address that she was using exclusively for all her business.”
