Donald Trump compares Hillary Clinton's use of private email to Watergate

Donald Trump has taken his attacks on Hillary Clinton to a new level, comparing her use of a private email server and the resulting investigations to one of the worst political crisis in American history, Watergate.

Hillary Clinton has said repeatedly that using a private email server while she was U.S. Secretary of State was a mistake, and the FBI did not find her actions were criminal, just extremely careless.
