Hillary Clinton acknowledges voter trust issues - MSNBC interview

Former First Lady and former U.S. Secretary of State has acknowledged that the questions about her use of a private email server have contributed to growing questions about whether American voters can trust her.

In recent weeks, she's been losing ground in the polls to Bernie Sanders and even to U.S. Vice President Joe Biden, who openly says he is not sure and has not made a decision to run for the Democratic nomination to run for the White House.

In an exclusive interview with NBC News' Andrea Mitchell, Hillary Clinton apologized for the confusions over her email and she made a poor choice.

HUNGARIAN MPS DISCUSS MIGRANT ACTION

People who had boarded a train from Budapest refused to then be forced off at a refugee camp outside the Hungarian capital.
