White House Backs Away From Obama’s Email Scandal Remark

The White House is backing away from comments made by president Obama this week after he declared in an interview that Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server does not pose a national security threat. “I don’t think it posed a national security problem,” asserted Obama in a recent interview with 60 Minutes.

When asked by reporters how the president could make such conclusive remarks, even as the FBI continues its investigation, White House press secretary Josh Earnest said,

The President was making an observation about what we know so far, which is that Secretary Clinton herself has turned over a bunch of email to the State Department, and the review of that email has garnered some differing assessments about what’s included in there.

Earnest went on to clarify that Obama’s remarks were “not an attempt, in any way, to undermine the importance or independence of the ongoing FBI investigation.”

Obama also noted during the interview that his administration “don’t get an impression that there was purposely efforts … to hide something or to squirrel away information.”

It was revealed in July that dozens of emails on Clinton’s private server contained classified information that was nor properly identified, though officials insist the information had not been classified at the time the emails were sent.
