Hillary Clinton Talks About Personal Emails During NH Visit
HAMPTON, NH (CBS) - The State Department has released hundreds of Hillary Clinton's emails related to the 2012 terror attack in Benghazi.
The emails are from the personal email account she used while she was Secretary of State. This comes on the same day as Clinton made a campaign stop in New Hampshire.
"Well first of all I'm glad that the emails are starting to come out," Clinton said. "This is something that I've asked to be done as you know for a long time."
Clinton would have liked to have kept the focus on craft beer, handshakes, and her bid to win over small business. Instead she faced news about sensitive emails sent over her unsecured home server when she was Secretary of State.
"I'm aware that the FBI has asked that a portion of one email be held back, that happens in the process of Freedom of Information Act responses, but that doesn't change the fact that all of the information in the emails was handled appropriately," Clinton said.
She answered questions about the emails after what her campaign called a round-table discussion with representatives of New Hampshire small businesses, surrounded by kegs and cases of beer at the Smuttynose Brewing Company warehouse in Hampton.
The company's founder asked for an easier way for everyday people to invest in companies, the way Kickstarter does.
"It's a lot easier to invest in Wall Street than it is in Main Street," Peter Egelston said.
"So it would be a channel for in this case local people to make an investment but to expect a return," Clinton responded.
From there, Clinton and her camp moved west to Exeter. The Water Street Bookstore was closed to the crowd of onlookers, until Clinton left the strategy meeting, the first of many as she tries to win over Granite State voters.
