Hillary Clinton claims that “of course I never endangered national security” by operating a private email server while secretary of state.

Appearing on ABC’s “This Week” with George Stephanopoulos on Sunday, Clinton suggested, “I  think that what’s going on will be resolved. Obviously all of us will go forward knowing what we now know making sure that no one can raise any questions in the future.” (RELATED: Feds Agree To Allow Probe Of ‘Creation And Operation’ Of Hillary’s Email System)

Stephanopoulos asked Clinton, “[L]ast week, President Obama defended you on the email issue, saying he’s confident you didn’t jeopardize national security, even though he said there was carelessness in managing your emails. Have you ever spoken to President Obama about this and do you agree with his conclusion that you were careless?” (RELATED: Obama: Hillary ‘Has Not Jeopardized America’s National Security’ With Her Private Email Server)

“I have not spoken to him. I appreciate what he said because of course I never endangered national security,” Clinton claimed. “That’s absolutely false. And I’ve said it was a mistake. It wasn’t the best choice. And now we know Colin Powell had a private email account. Aides to Condi Rice.” (RELATED: Reports: Some Of Hillary Clinton’s Emails Are ‘Too Damaging’ To National Security To Release)

According to reports, 22 of Clinton’s emails will not be able to be released because they contain “operational intelligence” that put lives at risk. That “operational intelligence” could include real-time information about intelligence collection, names of sources and the movement of assets. (RELATED: Hillary Clinton’s Emails Contain ‘Operational Intelligence’ That Put Lives At Risk)
