While the “big three” of ABC, CBS, and NBC all prominently touted on Monday President Obama’s defense of Hillary Clinton on her e-mail scandal in a 60 Minutes interview, none of the three dared to report later in the week how the Obama administration largely walked it back by declaring that Obama believes Clinton’s private e-mail server “does not pose a threat to national security” “based on what has been made public” so far.
In the President’s interview with Steve Kroft of CBS’s 60 Minutes, Obama ruled that Clinton’s decision to not use a government e-mail account was “not a situation in which America’s national security was endangered” and commended her for admitting it was a mistake.
