Hillary Clinton: I sent personal emails to my husband. Bill: I don't use email

Hillary says her controversial private server contained 'personal communications from my husband and me', while Bill has claimed he doesn't use email

Hillary Clinton deepened the suspicions of her critics on Tuesday when she said that the private server she kept in her home to store her email "contains personal communications from my husband and me".


There is only one problem with that: just this week a spokesman for Bill Clinton said the former president does not use email at all.

"The former president, who does regularly use Twitter, has sent a grand total of two emails during his entire life, both as president," Matt McKenna, the spokesman
, told the Wall Street Journal.

The apparent discrepancy was quickly pounced on by America's conservative media outlets, including the Washington Examiner which said, "it appears at least one Clinton is not telling the whole truth."

Mrs Clinton was speaking at the United Nations, where she held a press conference to address the ongoing controversy surrounding her decision to use only a private email address while serving as secretary of state.

A statement released by her aides after the press conference included another line which raised eyebrows: “The review of all of her emails revealed only one email with a foreign (UK) official”.

That is out of the over 60,000 emails which Mrs Clinton says she sent during that period, half of which she deemed work-related and turned over to the State Department for archival purposes.

Mrs Clinton said that the other 30,000 emails were “personal” correspondence –ranging from plans for her daughter’s wedding to her yoga schedule– which she “chose not to keep” on file.

The statement said that all other communications with foreign leaders occurred “in person, through correspondence and by telephone.”

Mr Clinton, on the other hand, never emailed another world leader from the Oval Office.

According the Wall St Journal story the first email Mr Clinton sent was to John Glenn, the astronaut, shortly after he launched into space. The other email was to US troops serving overseas
