Hillary Clinton to Address Her Private Email Scandal...

Hillary Clinton is going to publicly address her private email account for the first time today.

The former Secretary of State's team has confirmed that she will be holding a brief press conference after her keynote speech at a women's empowerment event at the United Nations, ABC News has learned.

Under Scrutiny, Hillary Clinton Asks for State Department Emails to be Released
The news conference, which is likely to take place after 2 p.m. ET, will be the first time she holds such an event since 2013 when she was leaving her post as the head of the State Department.

Clinton's only comment to date about the email scandal came via Twitter when she noted that she has asked the State Department to release her email, though that process is expected to take months.

She took two questions at a news conference on Jan. 17, 2013 and then she did a series of farewell interviews later that month. Aside from that, her interactions with the press have focused mainly on her book tour and paid speaking engagements.

She also briefly answered questions from members of the press during a visit to Iowa in September, but that was not part of a formal press conference.

It was publicly reported last week that Clinton, who is widely seen as the likely Democratic presidential nominee, used a private server and email domain during her tenure as Secretary of State rather than using the government's email system.
