David Remnick and Hillary Clinton discuss “What Happened”

In a wide-ranging interview with David Remnick, Hillary Clinton says that political allies of Donald Trump sabotaged her campaign by planting fake news stories in social media and guiding the Wikileaks release of the hacked emails of her campaign staff. In her new book, “What Happened,” Clinton describes Russia's interference as a “clear and present danger” to the electoral process, and points out that Putin could just as easily turn on Trump. She discusses how sexism distorted the campaign; how uneven media coverage affected public opinion; and how President Obama might have acted more forcefully to make the Russia investigation public. Drawing on her experience as Secretary of State, she talks about the North Korea nuclear crisis and criticizes the Trump administration's failure to maintain a robust State Department.
