Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton on Tuesday said she is "sorry" for using a private email server during her time as Secretary of State, CNN reported.
Clinton was going further than ever before to express remorse for the controversy that has rocked her campaign, the network noted.
"I'm sorry about that," Clinton said in an at-times emotional interview on ABC News, acknowledging that she should have used separate accounts for work and personal business.
"I take responsibility and I am trying to be as transparent as I possibly can."
She later went even further and issued a slightly different apology, saying she was "sorry that it has raised all these questions."
Clinton is facing criticism for having used a personal email address during her entire four years as secretary of state, despite the fact that under specific guidelines signed into law by President Barack Obama, government email accounts are supposed to be used in any situation involving official business.
