Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton criticized former President Donald Trump and stressed her purported innocence in an interview with Margaret Hoover of PBS’ “Firing Line” on Friday.
Clinton echoed sentiments that Trump poses a threat to democracy and mocked him for directing his administration to investigate her only to not file any criminal charges. While the Trump administration never formally accused Clinton of breaking the law, Federal Bureau of Investigation Director James Comey in July 2016 said that Clinton had stored 110 emails containing classified information on a private email server, with eight email chains containing top secret information.
“He basically ordered his attorney general to reopen an investigation into me,” Clinton told Hoover. “He ordered his two secretaries of state to reinvestigate me. They investigated the Clinton Foundation. You know, I’m the most investigated innocent person you have ever met.”
