Clinton: ‘I didn’t want Republican Congressmen rifling through my personal e-mails’

In an interview with PBS NewsHour’s Judy Woodruff Wednesday, Hillary Clinton reiterated that she has been cooperating fully with the ongoing investigation into the security of her emails while she was serving as Secretary of State.

Speaking at Cornell College in Mount Vernon, Iowa, as part of a two-day swing through the leadoff caucus state, the Democratic candidate for president said she chose to use her own personal server out of convenience and because of privacy.

“I wanted a private server because I’ve been through this kind of thing before. I didn’t want Republican Congressmen rifling through my personal e-mails,” Clinton said.

Watch the full interview on Wednesday’s PBS NewsHour. In it, Clinton also talks about why she isn’t supporting President Obama’s Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal.
