In a question the CNN correspondent worried went unheard over the din of reporters, reporter Brianna Keilar said that Hillary Clinton’s private e-mails weren’t deleted until “the end of the process” — strongly suggesting they were retained until the State Department requested that e-mails be turned over in late 2014.
“I’m not sure if it was caught, Wolf, because it was very noisy,” Keilar told CNN’s Wolf Blitzer, describing Tuesday’s press conference over Clinton’s private e-mail account at the United Nations. “But she was asked about deleting her personal e-mails, and I yelled at her at the end, ‘When did you delete them?’” She said, ‘At the end of the process.”
“What I take that to mean,” Keilar said, “is that once, in 2014, when she and her staff had separated her personal e-mails from her government-related e-mails and turned over her government-related e-mails, that’s when they deleted the personal e-mails . . . within the last few months, is the expectation.”
Keilar added that the deletions would’ve occurred after “red flags were raised by the Obama administration” about her private e-mail use.
