New edition of “Obama: The Call of History” claims former President Barack Obama and his team blamed the 2016 candidate Hillary Clinton for her loss to current President Donald Trump.
Former President Barack Obama and his team blamed Hillary Clinton for the Democratic Party’s loss at the 2016 presidential election, regarding her campaign as “soulless,” according to a new book.
"Never mind that Trump essentially ran the same playbook against Clinton that Obama did eight years earlier, portraying her as a corrupt exemplar of the status quo. Her campaign was dogged by an FBI investigation into her use of a private email server for official business. Shortly before election day, then FBI Director James Comey announced that no criminal case would be brought against her.
Since the election, Trump and his supporters have continued to push for investigations into Clinton, such as her conduct around the Benghazi incident in 2012, the financial dealings of her family’s foundation, and a reopening of the probe into her emails.
