Hillary Clinton told CNBC’s John Harwood she’d been the “most transparent public official in modern times” during an interview in Detroit Friday.

Harwood asked Clinton if she would concede she and other State Department officials had been “sloppy” given more than 1,000 emails from the server had been deemed classified, some even top secret.
