We begin this hour with Hillary Clinton. Shes now facing a sharp decline in the polls, falling below the 50 mark for the first time during her campaign. One possible reason, the seemingly never ending scandal involving personal email she used while secretary of state and reports that she wiped her server clean. While clinton is addressing the issue head on, it appears to be testing her patience. My personal emails are my personal business, right . So thats all ki si can say. Did you try to wipe the whole server . I have no idea. You were the official in charge. Did you wipe the server . What, like with a cloth or something . I dont know. You know how it works digitally.
