Hillary Clinton has urged the state department to quickly release emails she sent from a personal account during her tenure as US secretary of state, as she struggles to maintain control of the narrative surrounding her second campaign for the presidency.
At an event in Iowa on Tuesday, Mrs Clinton called on the department to “expedite” the release of the messages, the existence of which sparked a controversy that continues to dog the Democratic frontrunner on the campaign trail.
“I have said repeatedly I want those emails out,” Mrs Clinton said in a brief impromptu press conference. “Nobody has a bigger interest in getting them released than I do. I want the American people to learn as much as we can about the work that I did.”
