As Durham's investigation and indictments appear to be affirming what has long been suspected, that many of the biggest claims of coordination between former President Donald Trump's 2016 team and Russia can be traced back to Clinton's failed 2016 campaign, the former secretary of state claimed she is being smeared and alluded to the prospect of litigation. All of this comes as Trump himself is facing multiple controversies, including myriad investigations into his business empire and 2020 election activities, as well as the House inquiry into the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.
“They’ve been coming after me again lately, you might’ve noticed. It’s funny — the more trouble that Trump gets into, the wilder the charges and conspiracy theories about me seem to get.

And as an aside, they’re getting awfully close to actual malice in their attacks. But as I said, don’t get distracted.”
