Bill Clinton: People say ’embarrassing things’ on emails

Former President Bill Clinton drew laughter Wednesday when he said he didn’t use email because people often wrote “embarrassing things on email.”

“The only time I got on the Internet I did two emails and I ordered Christmas presents from a reservation,” Clinton said at a panel discussion at a Clinton Global Initiative event in Denver on Wednesday. 

“Otherwise I’ve found people said embarrassing things on email,” he added. “I didn’t want to be one of them.”

His wife, Hillary Clinton, the 2016 Democratic presidential frontrunner, attracted controversy after acknowledging in March that she used a private email server while serving as secretary of State.

She acknowledged in March to deleting more than 30,000 emails deemed personal from her in the Cabinet and turned over a similar number to the department for archiving. 

“The server contains personal communications from my husband and me,” she told reporters in March. 

But a spokesman for Bill Clinton said around that time that the former commander-in-chief had sent just two emails in his lifetime, both as president.

Hillary Clinton also joked about her private email server, suggesting during a fundraiser earlier this month it could have better repelled recent cyberattacks on White House servers.
