“We Need to Clean This Up”: WikiLeaks Shows How Clinton Aides Handled Email Server Scandal

HeadlineOct 26, 2016

WikiLeaks is continuing to release more emails hacked from the account of Clinton’s campaign chair, John Podesta. One newly revealed email shows how Clinton’s aides privately handled the controversy around her use of a private email server while secretary of state. When President Obama was first questioned about the scandal last year, he replied that he learned of her private email server through news reports. Shortly after Obama made the comment, a top Clinton aide privately wrote to Podesta, “We need to clean this up—he has emails from her—they do not say state.gov.”
