Hillary Clinton: Commercial Airlines are 'Burdensome' to Me

"I still don’t feel great."

Newly released emails show Hillary Clinton telling aide Huma Abedin to have the Air Force fly her from DC to her New York home because traveling on the shuttle was too "burdensome."

The commercial shuttle flight is about one hour in duration.

"Do you think we could get a plane for Westchester flight back tonight?” Clinton wrote in an email released this week as part of an ongoing Judicial Watch Freedom of Information Act lawsuit against the State Department.

It’s going to rain all day and I still don’t feel great so the idea of playing a guessing game w the shuttle is really burdensome to me. What do you think? Could be anytime that works for the Air Force,” she added.

An hour and 40 minutes later, Abedin replied: “Yes of course. Looking into it. Around what time do u think?”

“Six or 7–does that work?” Clinton asked.

The emails were dated May 4, 2009 when Clinton was Secretary of State.
