Hillary Clinton said Thursday that she did not have a computer in her office during her tenure as secretary of state, even though she claimed last March that she is "two steps short" of being a technology "hoarder."
Her response came after Rep. Susan Brooks (R., Ind.) asked Clinton why there were no emails to or from her account in 2012, when the situation in Libya was intensifying.
"Libya, Benghazi, Chris Stevens, the staff there—they seem to fall off your radar in 2012, and the situation's getting much worse in 2012," Brooks said.
Brooks asked about the lack of correspondence concerning an incident five months before the attack, when a bomb was thrown over the wall of the Benghazi compound.
"When our compound is attacked in 2012, what kind of culture was created in the State Department that your folks couldn't tell you in an email about a bomb in April of 2012?" she asked.
Clinton told Brooks that she "did not conduct most of the business that I did on behalf of our country on email."
Clinton also said she did not have a computer in her office at the State Department.
"If you were to be in my office in the State Department, I didn't have a computer," she said.
However, Clinton's statement conflicts with her claims about her technological fluency. Last March in Silicon Valley, Clinton said that she has an iPhone, BlackBerry, an iPad, and a mini iPad."I'm, like, two steps short of a hoarder," Clinton said at the time.
