Hillary Clinton continued to dismiss questions about her private email use Monday morning, just before the Iowa caucus began.
“There is nothing new, and I think the facts are quite helpful here,” Clinton said during an appearance on CNN’s “New Day.” “It’s a little bit like what the Republicans and others have tried to do with respect to Benghazi.”
Clinton said the discussion over her emails has been characterized by “innuendo,” just as the controversy over handling of the 2012 terror attack in Benghazi.

The State Department marked 22 of her emails “top secret” Friday and refused to release any part of them to the public, a major step in a months-long process of reviewing Clinton’s personal records.
“I take classified information seriously,” Clinton said. “People are selectively leaking and making comments that have no basis in anything I’m aware of.”
