What does Hillary Clinton think of the legal troubles plaguing the former president who loves to lead chants of Lock her up? at his rallies? No one is above the law, she said, referring to Donald Trump, who was caught by the FBI hoarding highly classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida.

If the Justice Department decides that former President Donald Trump actually committed a crime, do you think he should be treated like any other citizen? CNNs Dana Bash asked Clinton during an appearance on Sundays State of the Union. Or should the DOJ take into the account the potential real-world consequences of indicting a former president and potential 2024 candidate?

More from Rolling Stone

I think its a really hard call, Clinton said. And I cannot predict what the Justice Department will do at the end of its investigation, but I do think the rule of law holding people accountable is central to our nation.

Clinton then alluded to her own history with federal record keeping laws related to her use of a personal email server during her time as secretary of state in the Obama administration. Two separate investigations, however, found that Clinton did not mishandle classified information. And Trumps own former attorney general, Bill Barr, admitted that the Clinton emails were not as raw as the documents Trump reportedly brought to Mar-a-Lago. But the facts have not stopped Trump from frequently attacking Clinton, including as recently as last week, when he alleged at a rally that she acid washed the email server.

Both as secretary of state and as a private citizen, I have answered every question Ive been asked, Clinton said on CNN. Ive testified for 11 hours. Ive been involved in anything that was asked of me to try to answer any kind of issue. I think thats the way the system is supposed to work, even if youre not sure why the spotlight was on you.

Story continues

Clinton continued, I really believe that at the end of the day no one is above the law, and no one should be escaping accountability if indeed the facts and the evidence point to them having done something that anyone else in our country would be investigated for and maybe even charged.

The former secretary of state was cautious in her answers, certainly more cautious than Trump, who enjoys saying she should be in jail. I know its not an easy call [whether to prosecute Trump] I dont want to inject my opinion into that difficult calculation because I dont know all the facts, and unlike people who jump to conclusions, I dont want to do that, Clinton said, making a not-so-veiled stab at Trump. But if the evidence proves or seems to show that there are charges that should be leveled, then I think the rule of law should apply to anyone.

No One Is Above the Law: Hillary Clinton on Trumps Legal Woes - Yahoo Entertainment

An attempt by an attorney for right-wing broadcaster Alex Jones to inject politics into the cross-examination of a former FBI agent who responded to the Sandy Hook massacre led to a contentious exchange with the judge presiding over the case.

Ex-FBI agent Bill Aldenberg had been delivering hours of emotional testimony against Jones on Tuesday, stopping himself repeatedly when his voice started cracking. When Joness attorney Norm Pattis took over questioning, he veered toward a turning point in his clients career: his endorsement and interview of former President Donald Trump.

Since Jones had peddled misinformation for decades about everything from the Oklahoma City bombing to the 9/11 attacks, it immediately sparked backlash, but Pattiss questioning intimated that outrage over his clients broadcasts calling Sandy Hook a hoax was all about election-year rhetoric. Judge Barbara Bellis quickly sustained one objection about the relevance of a question about Hillary Clinton.

Once the subject matter turned to Megyn Kellysinterview of Jones on NBC News, the judge instructed the jury to leave the room and a blistering exchange followed. Pattis defended the line of questioning.

Its our contention that this issue was largely dead until Hillary Clinton made a campaign issue of it in 2016, he told the judge, who indicated that the matter had been settled and Pattis lost.

I already ruled on the issue, and were moved on from that, Bellis said. So now, you just talked about Megyn Kelly. So lets address Megyn Kelly.

With respect to Megyn Kelly, given the nature of the argument that the plaintiffs made here, its our contention we are entitled to put on exaggeration, as a defense, Pattis said. When Megyn Kelly and NBC did an interview with Jones in 2017, a number of Connecticut residents petitioned local affiliates to not air the 2017 interview with Jones. I want to know what this man [Aldenberg] is one of them.

Attorney Chris Mattei, who represents Aldenberg and eight families of Sandy Hook victims, said that there was no good faith basis to ask that question and that Pattis had no evidence that his client was part of that group.

The larger issue here, which is what attorney Pattis is trying to inject into this case is some sort of echo of what he made the centerpiece of his opening, which is that this lawsuit is an effort to silence Mr. Jones, Mattei said. He was trying to get in through Mr. Aldenberg that some unnamed group of people have been involved in sending a letter to NBC for one specific purpose: And that is to try and inject some sort of political argument to the jury, which is impermissible.

Before trial began, Jones had three default judgments entered against him in Sandy Hook-related cases for failing to turn over discovery to the plaintiffs. That effectively meant that Jones had lost the cases before they began, and the juries sole task was to determine how much he owed in damages. A Texas jury already found Jones owed millions to two Sandy Hook parents. The Connecticut trial to determine what he owes eight other families and Alderman began Tuesday.

The day ended with testimony by Carlee SotoParisi, who wept as she recalled how she learned about the death of her sister Victoria Leigh Soto, a teacher at Sandy Hook elementary school who was one of the 28 people killed during the massacre. Trial continues on Wednesday.

'I Don't Want to Hear Hillary Clinton Again': Judge and Alex Jones Lawyer Get into It After Jury Sent Out of Courtroom - Law & Crime

Former senator and secretary of state Hillary Clinton has addressed the thorny issue of her husbands infidelity in a trailer for a new TV show called Gutsy, that profiles her conversations with courageous women.

In the clip Clinton is asked about her decision to stay with Bill Clinton in the wake of the exposure of his affair with White House aide Monica Lewinsky. Clinton says that staying with a partner who has had an affair is not right for everybody.

In the trailer Clinton is talking to the Rev Whittney Ijanaten, a chaplain who specializes in LGBTQ marriages. Ijanaten says: You have a marriage that has been on public display since the beginning. You said the gutsiest thing you ever did was stay in your marriage.

Clinton agrees that staying with her spouse was gutsy and adds: That doesnt mean thats right for everybody.

Gutsy will air on Apple TV and is a collaboration between Clinton and her daughter Chelsea, based on a a best-selling book the pair wrote called The Book of Gutsy Women: Favorite Stories of Courage and Resilience.

Hillary Clinton addresses husbands infidelity in trailer for new TV show - The Guardian US

Aphotograph of two women walking topless, along with the claim that the image showed a young Hillary Clinton and her LGBT roommate of fouryears was recirculatedon the internet in October 2016:

Its not entirely clearwhich of the women is supposed to be Hillary Clinton and which is supposed to be her former roommate, but neither bears more than a passing resemblance to a young Hillary Rodham:

The imagewas taken near San Francisco State College in California, across the country from Wellesley College in Massachusetts (where Clinton attended).

Gene Anthonytook the photograph in 1966:

Its unclear why a toplessphotograph of the Democratic presidential nominee would only surfacefifty years later,in October 2016. During her time at Wellesley, Clinton was head of the Young Republicans Club and an intern in D.C., andit is unlikely that she would have taken the time to flyto San Francisco with her roommate for a stroll around the block with her top off.

Actual photographs of Clinton during her college years do exist; however, the image displayed hereis not one of them.
