  • Clinton said on CNN that Trump should be investigated.

  • Clinton believes that evidence should be pursued.

  • Clinton did not want to pre-judge the investigation.

As the investigation into classified documents found at Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago residence continues, Hillary Clinton said she believes her former political opponent should be held accountable.

The Department of Justice is investigating the former president for taking classified documents from his presidency to his home in Mar-a-Lago. If he is found guilty, Trump could be sentenced to 33 years in prison for violating the Espionage Act.

He is not the president and we have some special exceptions for someone in the office. Clinton said on "State of the Union" that if there is evidence, it should be pursued.

Clinton told CNN reporter Dana Bush that the rule of law should apply to anyone if the evidence shows that there is a case to be made.

The former Secretary of State told the hosts of "The View" that she didn't want to judge the investigation into Trump. No one is above the law according to her.

She said that she wasn't going to pre-judge someone else. Clinton's use of a private email server during her time as Secretary of State was the subject of a State Department investigation, which she faced off against Trump for the Presidency. The Department did not find persuasive evidence of deliberate handling of classified information.

I have answered every question I've been asked as a private citizen and as a secretary of state. Clinton testified for 11 hours. The system is supposed to work like that.
