It was lost amid news of President Obama’s Iran deal, but this week Hillary Clinton released a 3,500-word explanation of her secret email system.

The statement is in question-and-answer form. In it, Clinton asserts that she carefully followed every law and regulation that applied to her emails as secretary of state. She did absolutely nothing wrong, she says.
