希拉里.克林頓否認曾用私人電郵發送機要信息

Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton said Saturday she never used her personal email account to receive or send classified information as secretary of state.

"I am confident that I never sent nor relieved any information that was classified at the time it was sent and received," Clinton said during a campaign appearance in Iowa.

A senior official of Iowa's Republican Party said voters do not trust Clinton. He accused her of being less than truthful about what he called her "cavalier handling of sensitive information."

The U.S. Justice Department is considering an investigation into a possible compromise of sensitive information in Clinton's emails, but says it would not be a criminal probe.美國前國務卿、民主黨下一屆總統參選人希拉里.克林頓星期六表示，在她出任國務卿期間，從來沒有用過個人的電子郵件信箱來接收或者是發送機要信息。

克林頓在艾奧華州出席競選活動時說：“我相信，我從來沒有發送或者是接收過當時被標明是機要的信息。”

艾奧華州共和黨方面的一名官員說，選民不信任克林頓。他還指責克林頓在處理敏感信息方面，很“隨便”，而且在這個問題上， 並沒有完全實事求是。

美國司法部目前正在考慮是否就克林頓私人電郵問題，展開調查，但明確表示，即便展開調查，也不會是刑事犯罪調查。
