A host questions were asked by Chuck Todd during NBC's 'Meet the Press' show. Amongst all other questions included the new charge that a recently released email exchange with former CIA director and retired Gen. David Petraeus. However, she seemed exasperated at the question and asked Todd whether his next question will be about "another conspiracy theory,' said Politico.

She retaliated that she was thrown a barrage of similar questions when she ran for the Senate. However, New Yorkers chose her to be the Senator nevertheless. She also expressed her hope that voters will look past what she called as 'drip, drip, drip' of the furor over her emails.

She clarified that it was a phase of transition wherein she was not much focused on her emails. She also rejected that fact that her decision to use her personal email server as a Secretary of State was to evade public records. When she was further pressed to explain, she said it was beyond her technical understanding. She was by no means was a technical expert and relied on people who were.

Hilary Clinton claims to have sent emails from her personal account for first two months after taking office in 2009. She did not begin using clintonemail.com address for State Department business until that March, reported New York Times.

Clinton also defended herself on Sunday from charges that she's altered her positions on issues like same-sex marriage, the Iraq War and the Keystone XL pipeline out of political expedience, said Politico. In interview with CNN, former President Bill Clinton blamed the email controversy on Republicans who wanted to weaken Mrs Clinton and her campaign.
