Hillary for release of her emails to public

Washington, March 5

Hillary Clinton, at the centre of an email controversy, today broke her silence over using her personal mail account while she was serving as the US Secretary of State and sought the release of emails to public.

The controversy over using her personal email account while conducting official businesses escalated, with the White House saying “very specific guidance” were issued for the use of government e-mail accounts to carry out such work.

Clinton, 67, who is considered to be the top Democratic party presidential contender in 2016, took to Twitter to break her silence over the row, saying: “I want the public to see my email. I asked State to release them. They said they will review them for release as soon as possible.” State Department Deputy Spokesperson Marie Harf said. — PTI
