A new email from longtime Clinton aide Huma Abedin describes the former secretary of state as "often confused,"
The Hill reports.
The
email in question was released Monday as part of a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit from conservative legal group Judicial Watch. It was unclassified, but contained a detailed itinerary of Clinton's schedule on an unsecured server, which Judicial Watch says exposed the former secretary of state to unnecessary risk.
The Jan. 26, 2013 email correspondence – which is likely to attract attention from Clinton's critics on the campaign trail – between Huma Abedin and another Clinton aide, Monica Hanley reads:
"Have you been going over calls with her for tomorrow?" Abedin asked Hanley. “So she knows [then-Indian Prime Minister Manmohan] singh is at 8?”
“She was in bed for a nap by the time I heard that she had an 8am call,” Hanley responded. “Will go over with her.”
“Very imp to do that,” Abedin said in response. “She's often confused.”
“Huma Abedin’s description of Hillary Clinton as ‘often confused’ tells you all you need to know why it took a federal lawsuit to get these government emails from Clinton’s illegal email server,” Judicial Watch president Tom Fitton said in a statement. “These emails also show that Hillary Clinton’s and Huma Abedin’s decision to use the Clinton email server to conduct government business was dangerous and risky.”
Judicial Watch is involved in a number of lawsuits against Clinton's use of a private email server noting that "Hillary Clinton has a demonstrated record of showing contempt for the rule of law."
