WASHINGTON (AP) — Hillary Clinton says Republicans are living in a world of “fantasy and hope” if they think she’ll be indicted over her use of a private email server while serving as secretary of state.
Legal experts agree that charges are unlikely. But Matt Lauer of NBC’s “Today Show” says Republicans tell him privately they hope Clinton will be taken out of the election equation in coming months because of criminal charges.
Clinton laughed at the suggestion, saying the suggestion shows how desperate the GOP has become and that their “fondest wishes” won’t come true.
Of the ongoing investigation, Clinton calls it a “security review” that is “conducted in our government all the time.”
