Addressing the ongoing email controversy for the first time, Hillary Clinton said today that she used a private account out of "convenience" and later went through a "thorough process" to deliver her work-related messages to the State Department.
"I opted for convenience ... because I thought it would be easier to carry one device," she told reporters at the United Nations in New York.
She said that she "chose not to keep" personal, private emails that had to do with planning her daughter Chelsea Clinton's wedding, her mother's funeral and yoga routines.
Clinton also talked about the private server that was used to host her email domain, saying that the system was set up for her husband and his post-presidential office that "proved to be effective and secure."
She also confirmed earlier reports that the server was based out of the former first couple's home in Chappaqua, New York.
"There were no security breaches," she added.
Clinton maintained that she "fully complied with every rule I was governed by." She did not directly address a 2005 update in the Foreign Affairs Manual codified by the State Department which ruled that employees could only use private email accounts for official business if they turned those emails over to be entered into government computers. That ruling also forbade State Department employees from including "sensitive but unclassified" information on private email, except for some very narrow exceptions. She did, however, note that she never sent classified information via email.

Hillary Clinton says she used one email 'for convenience ...
WASHINGTON, March 10 (Reuters) - Hillary Clinton, a likely 2016 White House candidate, on Tuesday plans to address her use of private email during her time at the U.S. State Department in a press conference following a speech at the United Nations, according to media reports.
CBS News, MSNBC and CNN, citing a Clinton aide and other unnamed sources, said Clinton would hold a news conference after her scheduled remarks in New York, slated to begin at 1:30 p.m. EDT (1730 GMT).
Reuters could not immediately confirm the reports. A spokesman for Clinton urged reporters to attend the UN event.
Clinton, Democrats' presumed front-runner for the party's 2016 presidential nominee, has come under fire for her use of a non-government email while working as secretary of state under President Barack Obama.
She had been expected to publicly address the issue sometime this week. Republicans have pounced on the email revelation, first reported by the New York Times last week, but some Democrats have also called for more disclosure.
Democrats on Tuesday urged Clinton to offer a public explanation about her use of a private email, including the use of her own private computer server.
Senator Kirsten Gillibrand of New York told MSNBC that she did not know details of Clinton's email use.
"So we'll see what her perspective is... I know we'll get the answers shortly," Gillibrand said.
"She should come forward and explain the situation," Richard Durbin, the Senate minority whip, also told MSNBC.
