Hillary Clinton is jeopardizing her years'-long wish to become president by fighting back against whether the House Select Committee on Benghazi was created to harm her politically, former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani said Tuesday.
"Every time she falls back on that, she is not convincing the American people she is a person who can change America," Giuliani told
Fox News' "America's Newsroom" host Bill Hemmer, speculating that if she spends the rest of her campaign fighting the committee, she'll probably lose the Democratic Party nomination, and if she does win that, she still won't win the White House.
Clinton's campaign has released
an ad seeking to capitalize off of House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy's comments saying the Special Committee was "created to destroy Clinton's candidacy."
However, Giuliani said the important thing to remember is that there is still a major investigation going on about Clinton's use of a private email server while she was secretary of state.
"She committed, on the face of it, crimes," he said. "She violated the Government Record Act in which you were supposed to use due care in handling of government records. She revealed classified information to people that it wasn't suppose to be revealed to when she was going back and forth to a buddy in email. She put classified information in unsecure locations, once again violating federal law. If these things are true. These are things people get prosecuted for."
