CBS News: Clinton Demanded Aide Send Classified Email to Private Server

‘It’s a public statement, just email it!’

[clip starts]

CORDES (voice-over): “The new e-mails show Clinton chafed from time to time at the confines of a classified computer system that could be difficult to access. In one exchange her deputy chief of staff Jake Sullivan said he couldn't send her a statement from Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair because it's on the classified system. Clinton responded, ‘It’s a public statement. Just e-mail it.’ Sullivan replied, ‘Trust me, I share your exasperation. But until ops converts it to the unclassified e-mail system there is no physical way for me to e-mail it. I can't even access it.’”

CORDES: “The State Department says none of the newly released e-mails contained information that was considered classified at the time that Clinton received it. Intelligence officials aren't so sure, Scott, and they say regardless, that material should not have been sitting on Clinton’s home server for years.”
