In the interview, Hillary Clinton also said, "There's a double standard: the Republicans deny, deny, deny and divert, divert, divert and they get away with it because the press is more concerned about someone who accepted responsibility than people who refuse to take responsibility."
Clinton also pushed back against Democratic Sen. Kristen Gillibrand, who made headlines earlier this week when she said President Bill Clinton should have stepped down following his sex scandal involving White House intern Monica Lewinsky.
"That was a painful time not only in our marriage but in our country," Clinton said, referring to the impeachment of her husband in 1999. "But it was investigated fully, it was addressed at the time, he was held accountable. That is very different than what people seem to be remembering from that period."
Contrastingly, Clinton was incredulous as to why Trump isn't facing the same scrutiny her husband did. "If you're going to hold people to the same standards, there are a lot of parallels that are not being followed in recent times," she said.
