A top Hillary Clinton adviser lamented that the Democratic presidential candidate has “terrible judgment” in leaked emails that reinforce perceptions of weaknesses that continue to dog the nominee’s campaign.
Although Mrs Clinton has a comfortable lead over Republican Donald Trump with less than two weeks until election day, the latest emails from WikiLeaks underscore concerns over her decision-making and honesty that have hindered her popularity.
“Almost no one knows better than me that her instincts can be terrible,” wrote Neera Tanden, a Clinton confidante, as she and the campaign’s chairman grappled with her use of a private email server and reluctance to apologise for it.
