Hilary Clinton says democracy is at risk

Hillary Clinton may have lost to Trump in her 2016 run for president, but that in no way took her out of the political playing field. In an in-person interview with Edward Luce for Financial Times, Clinton voiced her opinion on the current political climate, and what she believes to be a growing threat to democracy and base-level women's rights.

Describing herself as "the most investigated innocent person in America," Clinton doesn't shy away from the albatross of "her emails" that will likely forever be associated with her name, but rather uses it as an example of how people in positions of power can cherry-pick information to bend the ear of the media. In her memoir "What Happened?," which primarily centers on the 2016 election, Clinton highlights Trump's ability to give media a "new rabbit every day [knowing] they'd never catch any of them." Years after the fact, she mourns her race against Trump calling it "A break in history," and "Such a piece of unfinished business."
