Clinton getting some positive press today in the L.A. Times. The reporters David Lauter Seema and Mehta write, “Three months into her second presidential bid, Hillary Rodham Clinton has succeeded at an important goal -- pivoting away from a highly restricted campaign style that threatened to cut her off from voters in key early-voting states.”
She’s under increasing scrutiny over her handling of emails while Secretary of State. Clinton kept a private server at home that she used for official State Department business. Now her lawyer says he has a thumb drive with classified information from five federal agencies, but that it is secure. Senator Chuck Grassley says that’s a violation of national security. Clinton had previously said she didn’t store any classified info on her private email server, and says any classified mails were made so after she had stored them. She may not have knowingly kept classified emails as they may not have been flagged so at the time.
The email story is hurting Clinton’s favorability and may leave an opening for another candidate for 2016 (like Joe Biden).
Meanwhile, Hillary’s campaign is going on the offense against the New York Times over a wrong story they published suggesting a criminal probe into Hillary’s email troubles. We’ll tackle it in our media panel.
