California Senator Dianne Feinstein wants Hillary Clinton to to give a full explanation of why she used a private email during her time at the State Department, telling NBC’s “Meet the Press” that silence is only going to hurt her.

(Feinstein) ”I think that she needs to step up and come out and state exactly what the situation is.”

Last week, Clinton tweeted that she asked the State Department to release her emails, but Republicans investigating the Benghazi attacks say there are big time gaps in the emails she’s handed over.
