Bill Clinton Contradicts Hillary’s Email Claim

06.11.2015 | News | Alicia Powe |

Bill Clinton contradicted his wife’s claims about their personal email use Wednesday during his appearance at a Clinton Global Initiative meeting in Denver.

Hillary Clinton held a press conference back in March where she said some of the private messages on her personal server “contains personal communications from my husband and me” and not any official State Department communications that would be relevant to an investigation.

Bill Clinton, however, claims he has only sent two emails in his life.

The “only time” he got on the Internet was to do “two emails” and order Christmas presents, Clinton said.

“Otherwise I found people said embarrassing things on emails,” he added. “I didn’t want to be one of them.”

Bill Clinton’s spokesman told the Wall Street Journal in March that the former president had only sent two emails in his life, one to U.S. troops and the other to astronaut John Glenn.

Mrs. Clinton’s office has turned over thousands of pages of emails to the State Department, which has started to release some of them.

The emails that have surfaced so far show she had been receiving advice on the Middle East from Sidney Blumenthal, whom the Obama administration had barred from working at the State Department. Blumenthal also received payment for his advise from the Clinton Foundation.
