Transcript

00:00Obviously, my mind was just going like, what happened? What happened?

00:04What happened? Hillary Clinton is ready to tell you. Clinton has been on an impressively

00:10extensive media tour over the last few days to promote her new book, What Happened? And on

00:14Wednesday morning, she stopped by both ABC's The View and NBC's Today. Over at The View,

00:19Clinton pushed back on White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders' criticism of her book,

00:24saying, I honestly don't pay much attention to what she says.

00:27We're not getting the kind of information from this White House that we should have.

00:34When appearing on The Today Show, she told Matt Lauer and Savannah Guthrie that she believes

00:38former FBI director James Comey was the primary reason why she lost to Donald Trump in November.

00:44I was just dumbfounded. I thought, what is he doing?

00:47Clinton said Comey's decision to once again look into her use of a private email server in late

00:53October stopped her campaign's momentum and drove voters away from her.

00:57I feel very strongly that he went way beyond his role in doing what he did, she said Wednesday morning.

01:02Things could have gotten awkward during the sit-down as co-host Lauer was one of her primary

01:07media targets in the book. She criticized his performance as host of NBC's Commander-in-Chief

01:12Forum last September, during which Lauer hammered her with questions about her use of a private

01:17email server while secretary of state. Clinton was noticeably peeved.

01:22Lauer had turned what should have been a serious discussion into a pointless ambush, Clinton wrote

01:27in the book. What a waste of time. She also admitted,

01:30I can't say I didn't fantasize about shaking some sense into Lauer while I was out there.

01:35While Lauer, in the effort of full disclosure, mentioned Clinton's criticism of him in the book,

01:40the overall interview was civil.

01:41I hope someday someone will write a book, Presidents Wear Dresses, and we're going to get it done.

01:48When Lauer asked the former first lady if she saw her book as a historic document or as a kind of

01:53literary version of a cleanse, she replied that the book is both.
