Trump became combative with the press when they continued asking him questions about his position. “I don’t like Huma going home at night and telling Anthony Weiner all of these secrets.” He even lashed out at Clinton’s top aide Huma Abedin: “Her number one person Huma Abedin is married to Anthony Weiner who is a sleazeball and a pervert,” Trump said. “I don’t think its safe to have Hillary Clinton briefed on national security because the word will get out,” Trump continued. This has gone from being a matter of curiosity, and a matter of politics, to being a national security issue.” That’s not hyperbole, those are just the facts. “You’d see some beauties in there.”Ĭlinton’s team struck back, putting out a statement after Trump’s appearance accusing him of encouraging “espionage.” The statement said, “This has to be the first time that a major presidential candidate has actively encouraged a foreign power to conduct espionage against his political opponent. “I hope they do,” Trump said of Russia having the emails, which could contain classified information. The FBI announced Monday it is opening an investigation into the incident.
Trump also suggested Russia may already have the emails after a hack of Democratic National Committee files, which the party learned of in the late spring. (FBI director James Comey said in July of the investigation into Clinton’s private email server, “The FBI also discovered several thousand work-related e-mails that were not in the group of 30,000 that were returned by Secretary Clinton to State in 2014.”)
