Clinton, whose lead for the Democratic presidential nomination
is shrinking in some national polls, said in an interview on NBC’s "Meet the Press" that her attorneys decided without her assistance which e-mails from the private server she used while at the State Department were business-related and would be made public. She expressed frustration the controversy hasn’t abated despite her explanations.
