During an appearance on comedian Jimmy Kimmell’s late-night show in Los Angeles on Monday night, Hillary Clinton tried to laugh off the hubbub over her latest email woes.
“Jimmy, my emails are so boring,” she deadpanned, “and I am embarrassed about that. They are so boring. So we’ve already released, I don’t know, 30,000- plus. So what is a few more?”
But the news that the state department will have to release nearly 15,000 further Clinton emails, most probably on the eve of the November election, is a serious matter for the Democratic candidate. It comes as she faces scrutiny not just of her emails but of her relationship with the charitable Clinton Foundation during her tenure as secretary of state.
