WASHINGTON — Hillary Clinton’s chief of staff at the State Department said in sworn testimony
released Tuesday that Mrs. Clinton’s advisers gave little thought to
the problems her private email server might create if they were forced
to turn over her communications under public records law.
“Certainly
from my standpoint, I wish that had been something we thought about,”
Cheryl D. Mills, who was chief of staff when Mrs. Clinton was secretary
of state, testified in a deposition on Friday in a lawsuit against the
State Department brought by a conservative legal group.
Ms.
Mills’s comments — contrite at times, defensive at others — represented
the first sworn public accounting from a member of Mrs. Clinton’s inner
circle about the controversy over her exclusive use of a private email
account during her State Department tenure.
