Fox News correspondent Ed Henry reported Monday on a 2013 video showing State Department official Wendy Sherman boasting at a private event about Hillary Clinton and her aides sending, as Henry put it, "sensitive information on unclassified systems."
"Now we have Blackberries, and it has changed the way diplomacy is done," Sherman says in the 2013 tape. "Things appear on your Blackberries that would never be on an unclassified system, but you're out traveling. You're trying to negotiate something."
Henry said Fox News had exclusively obtained the clip, where Sherman is shown speaking with the American Foreign Service Association.
"Sherman cited the example of Clinton's September 2011 visit to the United Nations General Assembly, where the then-Secretary of State met with Lady [Catherine] Ashton of the European Union, and they conducted delicate Middle East peace negotiations," Henry said.
The clip then returned to Sherman in 2013.
"And so they sat there as they were having the meeting with their Blackberries transferring language back and forth, between them and between their aides, to multitask in quite a new fashion," Sherman said.
Previous email releases by the State Department of Clinton's official correspondence show that in September 2011, Clinton aide Jake Sullivan forwarded her an email chain on the Quartet statement.
The State Department considered the correspondence sensitive enough that the department deemed some of those emails to now be classified, and officials redacted details before the emails were released to the public.
The conservative super PAC America Rising declared that under National Archives guidelines, the information deemed classified involves "foreign relations or foreign activities of the United States, including confidential sources," so it was born classified when the emails were created.
"Despite her numerous protests, evidence continues to grow showing Secretary Clinton knowingly sent and received classified material using her private email," Jeff Bechdel, communications director for America Rising, said in a written statement. "This new video again puts Clinton on defense, forcing the former Secretary of State to explain why she put U.S. intelligence at risk by exclusively [using] a private email account for government business."
A Clinton aide would not comment on the video, which was revealed as new Fox News polls showed a tightening race between Clinton and Democratic Sen. Bernie Sanders. Clinton's once double-digit lead in Iowa has dwindled to just 6 points, while Sanders has opened a 22-point lead in New Hampshire.
Both Iowa and New Hampshire polls showed that a candidate's trustworthiness topped the qualities Democratic voters look for most in their preferred candidates.
