Clinton Says She has “No Excuses” for Email Controversy

In an exclusive phone interview with CNN’s Anderson Cooper 360, Hillary Clinton was asked about a number of issues including recent revelations that the FBI has recovered 15,000 emails from her email server. Clinton responded by saying, “When I try to explain what happened, it can sound like I’m trying to excuse what I did. And there are no excuses.” Cooper also asked Clinton about her lack of press conferences and the attacks waged by Republican Donald Trump. An audio only video from the interview is below.

While on the west coast, Clinton attended two fundraisers in California. In the Los Angeles area on Tuesday, she attended a fundraiser at the home of Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel. Other celebrities attending the event were Jennifer Aniston, Jamie Foxx, and Tobey Maguire. Then, on Wednesday, Clinton attended a fundraiser in the San Francisco area. The event was hosted by Apple CEO Tim Cook.

Clinton Returns to California for Fundraisers

Last week, Hillary Rodham Clinton attended events in San Francisco and Los Angeles. On Friday, she attended three fundraisers in Hollywood that were attended by Leonardo DiCaprio, Dustin Lance Black, Elizabeth Banks, Howard Gordon, and Bruce Cohen. The events took place at the homes of HBO’s Michael Lombardo and actor Tobey Maguire. Earlier in the day, Clinton also attended a fundraiser at the home of Westfield Corp co-CEO Peter Lowy. She is reported to have addressed a number of issues, including the recent shooting in a Charleston, South Carolina church. All three events were closed to the press.

Saturday, Clinton addressed the The US Conference of Mayors where she called for stronger gun restrictions following the shooting at Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston. She acknowledged that there is still work to be done with regard to race relations. She said, “Despite our best efforts and our highest hopes, America’s long struggle with race is far from finished. I know this is a difficult topic to talk about. I know that so many of us hoped by electing our first black president, we had turned the page on this chapter in our history. I know there are truths we do not like to say out loud or discus with our children. But we have to.”
