Donors ready to open up their wallets for Hillary Clintons assumed run for president in 2016 were reportedly stunned after it was revealed she used her personal email account while holding the title as U.S. Secretary of State.

While some of her donors blame the Republican Party and the media for their intense coverage on the issue, others are worried that the latest scandal may derail her chances of winning the Democratic nomination, CNN reports. Arecent poll, however,states that Democratic voters support Clinton over any other challenger.

Alan Patricof, a longtime friend of the Clintons, said that there isnt a scandal going on.

I dont perceive any concern among the donor community who recognize that this is just one of many issues that gets blown out of proportion when it relates to Clinton, Patricof told CNN.

Another anonymous donor felt the opposite way, saying, It is a huge distraction and will take a long time to resolve.

In a press conference on Mar. 10, Clinton explained that she had cooperated with authorities and rules concerning the matter, but would not allow investigators to take her personal server, which was the primary server used to send the emails.According to Clinton, the server contains personal information, such as conversations with her husband, planning her daughters wedding and making funeral arrangements for her mother.

While she said it might have been smarter to have to different e-mails accounts for her work and personal life, she also said it didnt seem like an issue at the time.

Critics were quick to jump on Clintons comments, one being the head of the Republican National Committee.

Reince Priebus said shortly after Clinton spoke, saying, Because only Hillary Clinton controls her personal email account and admitted she deleted many of her emails, no one but Hillary Clinton knows if she handed over every relevant email."
