| Days after becoming the first woman in US history to lead a major-party presidential ticket, Clinton drew upon a series of bellicose remarks made by Trump in reference to women - from calling them “pigs” and “disgusting animals” to suggesting they should be punished for having abortions - as part of a blistering indictment of her Republican opponent before the Planned Parenthood Action Network in Washington DC. | Days after becoming the first woman in US history to lead a major-party presidential ticket, Clinton drew upon a series of bellicose remarks made by Trump in reference to women - from calling them “pigs” and “disgusting animals” to suggesting they should be punished for having abortions - as part of a blistering indictment of her Republican opponent before the Planned Parenthood Action Network in Washington DC. |
| “Anyone who would so casually agree to the idea of punishing women - like it was nothing to him, the most obvious thing in the world - that is someone who doesn’t hold women in high regard,” Clinton said. “Because if he did, he’d trust women to make the right decisions for ourselves.” | “Anyone who would so casually agree to the idea of punishing women - like it was nothing to him, the most obvious thing in the world - that is someone who doesn’t hold women in high regard,” Clinton said. “Because if he did, he’d trust women to make the right decisions for ourselves.” |

| As an FBI investigation continues, expert opinion is divided. Some offer a view reminiscent of Bill Clinton’s famous remark that he experimented with marijuana but “didn’t inhale”. “I believe Clinton did break the law but at the same time I don’t think there’s evidence she committed a crime,” says Douglas Cox, associate professor at City University of New York School of Law. | As an FBI investigation continues, expert opinion is divided.

| It is a violation of federal records law to remove or destroy material, Cox notes, although Clinton “in part” fixed this by returning thousands of emails. More important in assessing whether a crime was committed is the question of intent, Cox says. “While there were warnings and memos that she should have been aware of, from a prosecution side they would need to prove her knowledge and intent and have evidence of that to bring before a jury.” | It is a violation of federal records law to remove or destroy material, Cox notes, although Clinton “in part” fixed this by returning thousands of emails.
