State Dept. Posts Thousands of Hillary Clinton’s Emails

HeadlineSep 01, 2015

The State Department has posted thousands of Hillary Clinton’s emails online as part of a court-ordered disclosure process following revelations Clinton used a private email server while she was secretary of state. The department said it redacted information from 125 emails after discovering “confidential” materials, but said none of the emails were marked classified when they were sent. Meanwhile, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump’s campaign is defending his remarks about Clinton’s aide, Huma Abedin, and Abedin’s husband, Anthony Weiner. Weiner is the former New York congressman who resigned after admitting to sending sexually explicit photos and messages to women online. Speaking in Massachusetts over the weekend, Trump suggested Abedin’s husband’s transgressions made her handling of Clinton’s emails a security risk.

Donald Trump: “Huma now is one of the people that — it all sort of came through Huma. Who is Huma married to? One of the great sleazebags of our time, Anthony Weiner! Did you know that? She’s married to Anthony Weiner. You know, the little bing, bing, bing, bom, bom…I love you very much.”

That’s Donald Trump, imitating Anthony Weiner sending online messages. Trump’s aide, Michael Cohen, defended Trump’s remarks, telling CNN, “It’s politics. All’s fair in love and war.”
