And staying in Washington,
Hillary Clinton has directly responded to allegations... that she exclusively used her personal email instead of a government account... when serving as Secretary of State.
Clinton broke her silence on Wednesday over the growing controversy, saying she wanted the U.S. State Department to swiftly release the messages in question.
The State Department has defended Clinton, saying that at the time,... using a private email account for official business was not prohibited... as long as it was preserved.
Earlier, a congressional committee issued subpoenas to review the online correspondence.
The political firestorm comes as Clinton is planning to launch her bid for the Democratic presidential nomination for 2016.
And that wraps up our look at international stories for now. I'll see you back here tomorrow night.
