“I do [believe it’s time for Clinton to do something different],” the Arizona Democrat stated. “There is a lot at stake in this election, and I think that if anybody knows that it’s Secretary Clinton.”

“Her positions and the strength of what she’s been speaking to on issues is powerful and certainly has my support, but we’ve go tot get rid of extraneous issues,” he continued. “If this foundation is an extraneous issue that goes to — whether its heart is trustworthiness or transparency — get rid of it.”
