Clinton on email scandal: It’s cool, everyone does it

Hillary Clinton has defended her use of a private email server for official correspondence while US secretary of state, insisting her actions were no different from those of her predecessors.

One day after the release of a critical State Department investigation faulting her use of personal email for government business, Clinton vows that she will not allow the issue to dog her campaign.

“There may be reports that come out, but nothing has changed,” the Democratic White House front-runner says in an interview broadcast by CNN.

“It’s the same story. Just like previous secretaries of state, I used a personal email. Many people did. It was not at all unprecedented,” she says.
