State Dept. Releases First Email from Hillary Clinton’s Private Account

As you all know by now, Hillary Clinton only used a private email account while she was Secretary of State, and now the State Department has released the first email from that account.

VICE News obtained the email, which does not have a message in it from Clinton herself, just a message to her.

And would you like to know what the message was? Well, it’s nothing that scandalous:

“Madame Secretary, first of all, Merry Christmas. I trust you, the President and Chelsea will have a special holiday.”

For some reason, the 2010 email subject line reads “WikiLeaks Update.” And it’s not exactly a big secret how unhappy Clinton was with that now-infamous release of government information.
