FactChecking Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton

In March, Clinton brushed aside calls for her to turn over all her emails she sent as secretary of state — including personal emails — to an independent third party for review. Her office claimed government employees are granted privacy for personal emails, including on .gov accounts. But that's not what State Department guidelines say. Instead they stipulate that there is "no expectation of privacy" for emails on a department email system. Clinton exclusively used a private email account at clintonemail.com while at the State Department and deleted about half of them because they were personal, she said.

In a 2008 debate with then-presidential candidate Barack Obama, Clinton claimed that raising the cap on wages subject to Social Security taxes "would impose additional taxes on people who are, you know, educators here in the Philadelphia area or in the suburbs, police officers, firefighters and the like." But the cap then was $102,000 a year, and few police officers or teachers earned that much.

In the same debate, Clinton said she believed that "market manipulation" was prompting an increase in fuel prices. She offered no evidence, and, in fact, the Federal Trade Commission had repeatedly looked into such allegations and hadn't found anything to prosecute. On the campaign trail, she (and Sen. John McCain) proposed a "gasoline tax holiday" that economists said was unlikely to lower prices at the pump.

Clinton's foreign policy experience has increased greatly since 2008, thanks to Obama nominating her for secretary of state. But during the presidential campaign, Clinton exaggerated her foreign policy resume in an attempt to contrast it with Obama's experience. She said she "negotiated open borders" in Macedonia in 1999 "to let fleeing refugees into safety from Kosovo." The border had opened a day before she arrived. She also claimed to have "helped bring peace to Northern Ireland." There is agreement that she helped, but Irish officials gave mixed reviews as to how helpful her actions were. She wasn't directly involved in negotiations.

She also talked about a "dangerous" trip to Bosnia in March 1996, claiming that her aircraft made a corkscrew landing to avoid potential sniper fire. We wrote in 2008 that she failed to mention that the war had officially ended three months before she visited, and that she came with her daughter, who was 16 at the time, and two celebrities as part of a goodwill tour. CBS News footage later revealed she arrived calmly with Chelsea in tow, and Clinton said she "misspoke" about the incident.

In early 2008, Clinton wrongly blamed the Bush administration for a nonexistent policy of requiring wounded soldiers to return enlistment bonuses if they were discharged. One incident in which an injured soldier received a letter seeking recoupment was against the official policy of the Defense Department.
