In a CNN exclusive interview with Brianna Keilar Tuesday, Hillary Clinton admitted she is not the most "technically capable person."
Clinton said this in response to Keilar’s question about her email practices when she served as secretary of state.
"Can you tell me the story of how you decided to delete 33,000 emails and how that deletion was executed?" Keilar asked.
"Well, let's start from the beginning, everything I did was permitted," Clinton said. "There was no law. There was no regulation, there was nothing that did not give me the full authority to decide how I was going to communicate."
MSNBC’s Ari Melber said Clinton’s deletion of 33,000 emails and use of a private server went around the Freedom of Information Act.
Also, Joyce Barr, the chief freedom of information officer for the State Department, said Clinton’s use of personal email accounts was "not acceptable" and potentially violated the Federal Records Act.
"Previous secretaries of state have said they did the same thing," Clinton said. "And people across the government knew I used one device, maybe it was because I am not the most technically capable person and wanted to make it as easy as possible.
In the past, Clinton said she used multiple devices.
Keilar asked Clinton if past secretaries of state used a personal server and deleted emails when served subpoenas.
"I’ve never had a subpoena, there's nothing—again, let's take a deep breath here, everything I did was permitted by law and regulation," Clinton said.
Rep. Trey Gowdy (R., S.C.) did issue a subpoena for Clinton’s emails.
