Washington: Hillary Clinton, at the centre of an email controversy, on Thursday broke her silence over using her personal mail account while she was serving as the US secretary of state and sought the release of emails to public.
The controversy over using her personal email account while conducting official businesses escalated, with the White House saying “very specific guidance” were issued for the use of government e-mail accounts to carry out such work.
Ms Clinton, 67, who is considered to be the top Democratic party presidential contender in 2016, took to Twitter to break her silence over the row, saying, “I want the public to see my email,” she said adding, “ I asked the State to release them. They said they will review them for release as soon as possible.”
The State Department deputy spokesperson Marie Harf said in a statement in the wee hours of Thursday that “the state department will review for public release the emails provided by Secretary Hillary Clinton to the Department, using a normal process that guides such releases”.
“The White House appeared to have indicated that Clinton might not have had strictly adhered to the administration’s email policy when she was the top American diplomat for four years in the first term of the Obama Administration,” White House press secretary Josh Earnest said while addressing the reporters.
