Clinton campaign reports $37M in primary money in Q4

Clinton’s deep-pocketed repository reflects a heightened confidence in the Democratic front-runner’s electability, having spent the summer months dogged by controversy surrounding her use of a private email server during her time as US secretary of state under President Barack Obama.

In March, Clinton came under scrutiny for using her personal email account for official purposes while serving as U.S. secretary of state from 2009 to 2013.

But there were also several more emails that were marked, “secret” or “classified”. Two hundred and seventy-five emails were considered confidential and two were considered secret.

While the information wasn’t classified at the time, it could fuel more questions about whether sensitive information was at risk on her server.

The campaign spent $74 million of that money in 2015 as it established a ground operation in states beyond the four early nominating contests, and it invested heavily in Iowa and New Hampshire, where Clinton’s main Democratic rival, Sen.

Clinton aides said 94 percent of donations were $100 or less and more than 60 percent of donations were from women.

The rest of Clinton’s emails are scheduled for release this month.

After Obama’s win, the former president noted that Jesse Jackson had won South Carolina’s primary in 1984 and 1988 – victories that didn’t lead to the Democratic nomination. Capricia Marshall, a Clinton insider and the chief of protocol, was also listed as someone who should ride with the secretary of state.

Responding to the Wall Street Journal report, he said “no evidence exists” of Bill Clinton’s hosts influencing State Department decisions. “It’s her past as well”, Harrington said.

Although he now claims to deplore Bill Clinton’s misbehavior, Trump awarded the former president a free membership at his Trump National Golf Club, just a few miles from the Clinton home in Westchester County.

The department said Thursday it plans to release more Clinton emails next week.

It said she had raised $37 million for the primary campaign, the most for any non-incumbent in a non-election year, and $18 million for the Democratic Party in the fourth quarter.

Another document from last night’s trove was an email forwarded to Clinton from Ambassador Chris Stevens, who was killed in the September 11, 2012 attack in Benghazi, Libya, describing the atmosphere in the country after its election in 2012.
