Donald Trump: Hillary Clinton ‘can’t keep anything private’

GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump said he’s concerned about his Democratic rival Hillary Clinton receiving classified intelligence briefings, saying she can’t keep anything private and she committed a crime through her private email set-up.

“I’m worried about her getting it because of her email situation. She can’t keep anything private,” Mr. Trump said in an interview that aired Wednesday on “Fox and Friends.” “I think her email scandal is one of the worst things I’ve ever seen.”

“She deleted 33,000 emails, which is a crime. What she did is a crime,” he said. “To think that you have subpoenas and you’re deleting emails — it’s unthinkable.”

“I think probably her single greatest achievement in life will be getting out of that mess,” the businessman said. “And I don’t think she’s really out of it. I can’t believe that she’s out of it.”

Mr. Trump is scheduled to received his first classified intelligence briefing as the Republican presidential nominee on Wednesday.

Retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, a former head of the Defense Intelligence Agency, will accompany Mr. Trump. ABC News reported that New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, a former U.S. attorney, will join him as well.

Asked if he trusts intelligence, Mr. Trump said: “Not so much from the people that have been doing it for our country.”

“I mean, look what’s happened over the last 10 years. Look what’s happened over the years,” he said. “I mean, it’s been catastrophic. In fact, I won’t use some of the people that are sort of your standards.”

Mr. Trump called Gen. Flynn a “terrific guy” who’s “tough” and “smart.”

“I have great people and General Flynn is one of” them, he said.

Former New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani, who has emerged as a key surrogate for Mr. Trump, said the candidate would be correct to doubt the reliability of intelligence.

“He should take General Flynn with him to be able to ask critical questions. This is the art of being a good executive,” Mr. Giuliani said on the program Wednesday.

“The reality is our intelligence has been terrible,” he said. “Our intelligence has really let us down on a number of occasions, and there’s something substantially wrong with the way we gather intelligence.”
