Leaked emails reveal Clinton campaign's attempts to distract from email scandal

A second batch of emails obtained illegally from the inbox of John Podesta, Hillary Clinton’s campaign chair, offered fresh insight Monday into her team’s attempts to minimize political damage from the controversy surrounding Clinton’s private email use.

The 2,086 emails, which were published Monday by WikiLeaks, showed campaign aides frequently discussed strategies for steering the conversation away from Clinton’s email scandal as the former secretary of state took intense heat from the media and Republicans competing in the GOP primary.
