Hillary Clinton refuses to apologise for using private email system
Washington, Sep 5
Hillary Clinton on Friday
refused to apologise for using a private email account and server, but
said she was sorry for causing confusion among the voters.
When
asked whether she was sorry for exclusively using her private email
account and server rather than a State Department email account while
helming the agency, Clinton insisted she had done nothing wrong, Xinhua
news agency reported.
"It was allowed and it was fully above
board. The people in the government knew that I was using a personal
account," Clinton said.
However, Clinton said it would have been better if she had two accounts and she took responsibility for her choice.
"I certainly wish that I had made a different choice and I know why the American people have questions about it," she said.
The
controversy around Clinton's emailing practice burst into public view
earlier August after the inspector general for the US intelligence
community revealed that two of the thousands of emails held by Clinton
contained top-secret information.
On Friday, Clinton again
insisted that she treated classified material seriously and had never
exchanged emails that were marked classified through her private email
system.
"We dealt with classified material on a totally different
system," Clinton said, adding, "I dealt with it in person or on secure
phone lines."
