Hillary Clinton has urged the state department to quickly release emails she sent from a personal account during her tenure as US secretary of state, as she struggles to maintain control of the narrative surrounding her second campaign for the presidency.
At an event in Iowa on Tuesday, Mrs Clinton called on the department to “expedite” the release of the messages, the existence of which sparked a controversy that continues to dog the Democratic frontrunner on the campaign trail.
“I have said repeatedly I want those emails out,” Mrs Clinton said in a brief impromptu press conference. “Nobody has a bigger interest in getting them released than I do. I want the American people to learn as much as we can about the work that I did.”
A federal judge earlier on Tuesday instructed the state department to release the messages on a rolling basis, rather than in one lump early next year as the department had proposed, in response to a lawsuit filed by a member of the media.
Mrs Clinton is failing to draw much attention on the issues she says she wants to prioritise, as headlines continue to focus on donations to the Clintons’ family foundation and their personal wealth.
On Friday forms filed with the Federal Election Committee revealed that Mrs Clinton and her husband, former president Bill Clinton, had earned more than $25m in speaking fees since 2014.
There have also been fresh questions over her ties to longtime former adviser Sidney Blumenthal.
In Iowa, Mrs Clinton had been hoping to use a roundtable in Cedar Falls to focus on her agenda for helping small businesses, including reducing red tape, simplifying the tax process and reducing the regulatory burden on community banks that fuel much of the lending to local entrepreneurs.
However, none of the five questions she was asked related to small business.
希拉裏•克林頓(Hillary Clinton)已催促美國國務院盡快宣布她擔負美國務卿時代從私家賬號發出的電子郵件。正位於第二次總統選戰中的希拉裏正艱苦應答"大眾,"輿論。
周二,在愛荷華州的一次運動中,希拉裏號令美國國務院“盡快”頒布這些郵件。這些郵件激發的爭議一向困擾著希拉裏。她今朝是本次選戰中的民主黨頭號人物。
在一個短暫的暫時記者接待會上,希拉裏表現:“我已重復聲名我願望公然這些電子郵件。沒人比我更願望頒布這些郵件。我願望美國國民盡量地懂得我所做的事情。”
周二早些時刻,在回應一名媒體從業者提起的司法訴訟時,一名聯邦法官指導美國國務院慢慢公然這些郵件,而不是像美國國務院發起的那樣,在來歲月朔次性公然。
希拉裏未能將人們的留意力吸引到她願望擺在優先地位的題目上。媒體仍然聚焦於克林頓家屬基金收到的救濟和他們的小我財產。
周五,聯邦推舉委員會(Federal Election Commission)提交的文件表露,2014年以來,希拉裏和她的丈夫、美國前總統比爾•克林頓(Bill Clinton)經由過程演說賺得逾2500萬美元。
別的,環繞希拉裏與曾歷久擔負其參謀的西德尼•布盧門撒爾(Sidney Blumenthal)之間的幹系,還湧現了新的質疑。
在愛荷華州的競選途中,希拉裏願望經由過程在雪松瀑布(Cedar Falls)的一次漫談會,將人們的留意力會合在她扶直小型企業的議程上。這些議程包含削減繁文縟節、簡化稅務流程、和下降社區銀行的羈系門坎——這些社區銀行的多半貸款都發放給了本地企業。
但是,希拉裏被問及的五個題目都與小型企業無關。
