Hillary Clinton wasn’t adept at using a desktop for email, inquiry is told
- 8 years ago
Yet another explanation emerged on Thursday over Clinton's decision to use a private email server as secretary of state, a decision she said had been a "mistake".
The explanation; she was not comfortable with using a computer to read email.
Lewis A. Lukens, a former State Department administrative official, said in a sworn deposition last week that after Mrs. Clinton became secretary of state in 2009, he had proposed accommodating her by setting up a desktop computer in her office that would not be connected to the department’s system.
That would have allowed her to send and receive email on a personal account, Mr. Lukens said in the deposition, which he gave as part of a lawsuit brought by Judicial Watch, a conservative legal advocacy group.
